Current focus

Shipping full-stack web platforms and integrating LLM-powered features — LangChain workflows, RAG over product data, and assistants that feel like part of the UX, not a gimmick.

I build software that outlives the sprint that shipped it.

Over five years as a full-stack engineer, I've shipped products across fintech, SaaS, and education — the kind of codebases where a 2am pager rotation is the real design review. Lately, I'm deep in AI integration: LangChain pipelines, RAG, and LLM features wired into real product flows.

My edge is judgement. I don't just close tickets; I reshape the parts of the system that keep failing, document the why, and leave the codebase in a better state than I found it. I've shipped light Web3 work too — on-chain minting, IPFS — but that's past work, not my day-to-day focus.

Backend architecture

REST & GraphQL APIs, microservices, payment integrations, and databases that scale past MVP without a rewrite.

AI integration

LLM-powered features with LangChain, RAG pipelines, embeddings, and agentic workflows wired into real product UX.

Frontend craft

Typed React and Next.js apps, design systems, and interfaces that stay performant under real-world data loads.

Work that's live, not polished for a portfolio shelf.

A curated slice of platforms serving real users in production — fintech, Web3, SaaS, and education. Every one of these shipped, and most are still running today.

What the people who paid the invoice said.

Founders, leads, and teams who have trusted me with production systems — in their own words.

Ifeanyi joined us mid-sprint and hit the ground running — no hand-holding needed. He rebuilt our payment integration with Stripe and Paystack in under two weeks, fixing edge cases that had been causing silent failures for months. If you need someone who understands fintech complexity and still ships fast, he's your guy.
