Motolomi Feleke Fanta
@motolomifelekefanta
Full-stack engineer with 5+ years shipping Python/TypeScript systems, building AI products with feedback loops.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack engineer turned AI engineering, with 5+ years shipping production Python and TypeScript systems and now building AI products that improve through engineered feedback loops. At Privy-MVP, I create LLM applications with end-to-end observability—tracing, evals, and prompt/cache analytics—so changes ship behind measurable quality gates.
I’ve delivered privacy-first, end-to-end AI platforms: building streaming chat and tool-calling coaching modes, an LLM memory system (insight extraction, compaction, dedup, natural-language search), and privacy-critical foundations like passkey auth, encryption, and hard-delete controls. Previously, I supported AI model-training workflows at Revelo by producing evaluated datasets for fine-tuning and RLHF, and at Hydrus/ sdl.engineering I built production ESG services (50K+ daily API requests) plus RAG-driven medical search.
