Why I build
Research rigour. Production reality.
I started in AI research — building a Nigerian Sign Language recognition system and NLP models where correctness and evaluation are everything. Then I moved into shipping backends and LLM systems for real users, where scale, latency and reliability decide whether the work actually matters.
Research
How to do things right.
Evaluation, correctness and reproducibility — the discipline to build models and systems that hold up when real people depend on them.
Production
What actually ships.
APIs, scale, latency and cost under load — turning a working prototype into a service that stays up and performs for thousands of users.
The best AI work sits where research rigour meets production reality — that's where I build.
What I do
Four ways I help teams ship AI.
AI Research & Development
Building and evaluating ML, NLP and computer-vision systems with a focus on correctness and real-world use.
Backend Engineering
Scalable, high-performance APIs and services that stay reliable under real production load.
LLM, RAG & Agentic Systems
LLM assistants and agents using RAG, the Model Context Protocol and multi-model orchestration.
Cloud & DevOps
Containerised deployments and CI/CD pipelines on AWS and GCP, built for scale and repeatability.
