GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years building scalable systems across FinTech, Digital Health, and Maritime Tech. I focus on backend engineering, microservices, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure.
At Cass AI I led GPT-4 and custom LLM integrations through RAG pipelines, driving a 32% increase in chatbot helpfulness and 20% higher engagement, while owning high-availability AWS infrastructure and CI/CD for thousands of concurrent requests.
I have implemented robust data-driven A/B testing frameworks, improved platform reliability through TDD and strong documentation, and delivered measurable performance gains—such as a 22% search API improvement and key revenue-driving e-commerce features.
I mentor junior engineers, conduct NLP/LLM research, and build production services (video inspection, monitoring, summary services) that improve operational visibility and product analytics. I seek roles where I can lead technical initiatives and apply AI integrations to real-world products.
