Tolulope Babajide
Technical bridge between product, customers, and engineering, working in Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Technical Account Management.
A career across entrepreneurship, sales, hospitality, education, and engineering. I translate complex technology into outcomes, and people problems into systems.
I've led sales teams, mentored learners, run a footwear brand, and shipped AI products. My approach stays the same: understand the person, then design the solution.
Selected work
Products I have taken from a real-world constraint to a working, testable system.
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.
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.
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.
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 solutions engineering, customer success, and technical account management roles.
