Remote frontend, full-stack or AI engineering role. I’ve built React/Next.js interfaces, Python and Node.js backends, and trained and served my own models, so I’m happy anywhere in the stack. I want real ownership, strong engineers to learn from, and products people use. Based in Lagos (UTC+1), comfortable overlapping with EU and US hours. Open to full-time or contract. I’m a full-stack engineer from Lagos, Nigeria. I’ve spent the last four years building web products, backend services and AI systems with Python, TypeScript, Node.js and React/Next.js. I’m currently an AI engineer at Sumeru, where I work on the training, evaluation, release and vLLM serving pipeline for a family of open-weight education models. Two models are live so far: I also worked on Sumeru Voice Labs, a speech platform with a TypeScript SDK and Python agents on LiveKit. Before Sumeru, I was a full-stack engineer at Age of AI LLC. There I led the architecture of a text-to-speech and speech-to-text platform, and built scrapers and automated agents used by hundreds of customers. Before that, I spent two years at Zidea Creatives, first as a frontend engineer and then full-stack. I built client websites, design systems, CMS tools, REST APIs and CI pipelines there. Right now I’m working through Stanford CS229, CS336 and Karpathy’s Zero to Hero to go deeper on how models are built, trained and served. I care about clean backend design, accessible interfaces and shipping things people actually use. I’m looking for remote roles in AI engineering, ML systems or backend engineering, where I can work on both the product and the model side.
