🧠 What I build Area Expertise AI / ML LLM APIs, RAG, ensemble models, XAI Backend FastAPI, Django, Node.js, Rails Frontend React, Next.js, TypeScript DevOps Docker, K8s, GitHub Actions, Nginx Cloud AWS, GCP, Azure, Fly.io, Vercel, Firebase Databases PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis

🚀 How I work approach: - Startup velocity, enterprise quality - Security-first by default - Infra-as-code, everything automated - AI-augmented wherever it makes sense philosophy: - Ship fast, iterate faster - African problems need African context - Clean APIs over clever hacks - Documentation is not optional
