Tolulope Babajide
I turn complex customer problems into secure, production-minded digital products and systems.
I’m a Product & Solutions Engineer based in London, combining full-stack engineering, cloud security, and commercial experience to take products from discovery through architecture and delivery.
I build AI-powered applications, secure backend systems, and operational tools—using AI where it creates genuine value.
Selected work
Products I have taken from a real-world constraint to a working, testable system.
Awade
Education · African parents supporting learning at home
Problem: Parents want to help with homework, but the curriculum has moved on since they studied it.
Solution: Curriculum-grounded LLM generation of learning guides, with structured outputs and role-based access, on a FastAPI and PostgreSQL backend.
Notable: A live, security-reviewed product with role and ownership controls, structured AI output, and a focused 182-test security validation suite.
Planacle
Consumer Utility · Groups planning events and meetups
Problem: Coordination breaks across chats, schedules, and map tools.
Solution: Real-time group planning with Gemini-powered itinerary generation, Genkit agentic flows, Schulze voting, and location discovery.
Notable: Schulze voting algorithm and Gale-Shapley stable matching algorithms built from scratch for group preference ranking and optimal venue assignment.
OPSARA
Hospitality · Nigerian & pan-African SME restaurants, bars, hotels
Problem: African hospitality SMEs run on paper, WhatsApp, and disconnected tools. No operating software is built for the unreliable connectivity they work under.
Solution: An offline-first hospitality OS prototype covering POS floor plan, kitchen display, bookings, inventory, and owner analytics. The sync engine keeps working through offline periods instead of failing when the network drops.
Notable: End-to-end product prototype, from problem discovery through interaction design to a working multi-persona, multi-property build.
Agentic Team Template
DevOps · Autonomous multi-agent pipeline
Problem: Needed a governed way to automate repetitive implementation, review, and validation work without weakening engineering controls.
Solution: A 3-agent loop built on the Claude Agent SDK, bounded by permission manifests, test gates, audit logs, and explicit human governance.
Notable: Supports Planacle and Awade with traceable backlog, review, and QA workflows; failed checks stop or redirect the loop instead of silently shipping.
BookOrbit
Operations · Libraries and readers
Problem: Reliable inventory and payments across transactional flows.
Solution: Full-stack management and marketplace system with cloud storage and payments.
Notable: Used ACID transactions and backend hardening for safer operations.
Security Labs & Research
Application security reviews, controlled technical labs, and governance work—separated clearly by evidence type and publication status.
Product security case study
Awade Security Review
Identity · Child data · AI safety
JWT sessions, role and ownership controls, Redis-backed revocation, prompt-injection defences, structured model-output validation, and secure document generation.
182 focused security tests passed
Product security case study
Planacle Cloud & AI Security
Firebase · Authorization · Gemini
Transactional membership, host-only destructive actions, ballot-integrity rules, participant-authorized AI execution, and bounded model consumption.
Threat scenarios and residual risks documented
Vulnerability Assessment
NessusAssessed host and network risk, then prioritized remediation using CVSS-based triage.
Network Monitoring
ZabbixConfigured operational monitoring and alerting to improve infrastructure visibility and uptime response.
Web App Penetration Testing
OWASP Juice ShopDocumented SQL injection and XSS paths in a controlled lab to strengthen secure coding awareness.
Threat Intelligence
APT AnalysisMapped attacker behavior and TTPs into practical defensive reporting for security decision support.
How I create value
Three connected capabilities, demonstrated through the products and engagements above.
Professional Experience
The disciplines that shaped how I discover, build, communicate, and protect products.
Why I build differently
One career, four useful lenses.
Entrepreneurship taught me ownership. Sales taught me discovery and value. Operations taught me reliability under pressure. Security taught me trust and risk. Engineering lets me bring those disciplines together in products people can depend on.
Have a complex product or customer problem?
I'm currently open to product engineering, solutions engineering, and security-minded systems roles.
