Available · Senior AI Engineer

Production AI systems, built to last.

Senior AI Engineer with 5+ years across LLM training pipelines, ML research, automation engineering, and mentorship. I turn complex technical problems into reliable systems with clear business value, and I help other engineers do the same.

Not just impressive demos, measurable, maintainable, useful in the real world.

What I Build

Engineering across the full AI lifecycle.

From data and model evaluation to deployment, automation, and the people who maintain it. Five ways I help teams ship.

LLM Systems Engineering

Fine-tuning workflows (LoRA/QLoRA, RLHF), retrieval pipelines, and production serving with vLLM, Ollama, and llama.cpp, plus self-correcting agent stacks like Hermes. Built for reliability, measurement, and useful output.

02

Machine Learning Product Delivery

Taking ML systems from prototype to production with strong engineering practices, cloud infrastructure, and clear quality checks.

03

Automation Engineering

Workflow automation that removes repetitive manual work across data, operations, research, and communications, at enterprise scale.

04

AI Research Translation

Turning research ideas into working systems, then explaining the tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

05

Technical Consulting & Mentorship

Helping teams reason through architecture, evaluation, deployment, and product fit, and mentoring engineers toward their first production deployment.

Selected Work

Systems that survive real use.

Production ML, published research, AI automation, and enterprise systems. Some clients are confidential, framed by capability, never identity.

LegalRAG

A production-grade retrieval system for legal documents, built to minimise hallucinations and maximise citation-backed accuracy. I lifted it from 29% to 96.7% by rebuilding the evaluation methodology, not by chasing surface-level model swaps. Designed for domains where trust, traceability, and correctness are non-negotiable.

About

I do my best work where experimentation meets execution.

I am a Senior AI Engineer, machine learning researcher, and recognised mentor focused on building AI systems that work in the real world, and developing the people who build them. I enjoy the part of engineering that turns a promising prototype into something dependable: evaluation, deployment, monitoring, iteration, and maintenance.

At Turing, I work on LLM training pipelines, RLHF, and supervised fine-tuning, sharpening how I reason about model quality, data curation, and alignment. At Start Innovation Hub Nigeria, I build end-to-end ML pipelines, automate high-volume workflows, and mentor data professionals; that work earned a Staff of the Year award twice. At Visis Startup, I built backend ML infrastructure for an accessibility platform serving thousands of visually impaired users.

My research matters to me too. I've published in cross-dataset phishing detection through Franklin Open (Elsevier, 2026) and contribute to work on quantum kernels and explainable healthcare analytics. Research gives me a disciplined way to think about uncertainty, generalization, and honest measurement, the same standard I bring to production systems.

  • Precision over noise
  • Measurable outcomes over vague claims
  • Durable systems over fragile demos
  • Clear communication across teams
  • Research rigor when it's warranted
  • Investing in people, not only code
