Tolulope Babajide
AI & Backend Engineer building dependable products, APIs, and agentic workflows.
I design and ship production systems: FastAPI backends, PostgreSQL data models, LLM generation pipelines, and agentic workflows built for real use.
Based in London. Currently building Awade (curriculum-matched learning guides), Planacle (real-time AI planning), and an autonomous DevOps agent stack.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 AI engineering, backend, and platform roles.
