Hey, I'm Inioluwa
Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable full-stack and backend systems across fintech, logistics, gaming, and AI-powered products. I specialise in PHP/Laravel, Node.js, TypeScript, REST APIs, multi-tenant platforms, and production-ready services that are secure, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Beyond traditional engineering, I work at the frontier of applied AI, designing and shipping LLM-powered features, RAG pipelines, and intelligent systems into real-world applications. I approach AI engineering as a product craft: turning powerful models into dependable tools that solve practical problems.
Based in the United Kingdom.
