Tolulope Babajide

AI Systems Engineer building AI products, backend systems, and multi-agent orchestration pipelines, based in London, UK.

Curiosity has taken me across entrepreneurship, education, sales, hospitality, and computing. I have run a footwear brand, mentored young learners, led sales teams, and built digital systems.

Those experiences shaped how I approach technology today. I work to understand people, understand systems, and build things that create value. I'm now focused on AI-powered applications, backend systems, and cybersecurity.

01 · Work

Featured Projects

Production-minded systems designed with security, scalability, and architectural clarity.

Featured · PRODUCT PROTOTYPE

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.

Education · Teachers and school teams

Problem: Planning quality lesson resources quickly and consistently.

Solution: LLM-powered RAG-based lesson content generation with role-based access and structured outputs.

Notable: Designed for practical classroom workflows, not one-off prompts.

Consumer Utility · Groups planning events and meetups

Problem: Coordination breaks across chats, schedules, and map tools.

Solution: Real-time AI planning with LLM-powered generative AI synthesis via Gemini-powered itinerary generation, Genkit agentic flows, voting, and location discovery.

Notable: Schulze and Gale-Shapley algorithms built from scratch for preference ranking and optimal venue matching.

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.

DevOps · Autonomous multi-agent pipeline

Problem: Needed a self-healing autonomous DevOps pipeline that could write, test, and ship code without human intervention.

Solution: Built a 3-agent loop (dev / code-review / QA) with 22 scheduled tasks and 28 skills, proven on Planacle and Awade.

Notable: Replaces a full engineering team; agents self-heal on test failure.
