Full-stack software engineer specializing in AI/ML systems and scalable web apps.
What I'm looking for
I am a full-stack software engineer focused on building AI/ML systems, web automation, and scalable cloud applications. I combine strong backend and frontend experience with practical model fine-tuning and deployment skills.
At Andela and in multiple contracts I built responsive web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js, and integrated e-commerce and CMS solutions while improving SEO and user engagement through UI/UX design.
As an AI/ML engineer at Epigos AI I fine-tuned GPT-3.5 and LLaMA2 with Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, PEFT/LoRA, and implemented evaluation pipelines, dynamic prompt adaptation, and RESTful APIs to serve models and benchmarks.
I also developed robust data pipelines and web-scraping systems using BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, Selenium, Pandas and NumPy, and have experience deploying applications on cloud platforms with containerization and CI/CD tooling.
