Software Engineer. I train AI models, build the APIs around them, and ship them in apps people use.

My
Story.

I'm Chukwunedu. I build AI products from start to finish. I train the model, I build the API, and I ship the app it runs in. I write Python and FastAPI for the AI side, and Node, Express, and PostgreSQL for the backend.

I like building things that solve real problems. NutriPadi is the one I point to first. It looks at a photo of food and tells you the dish, its nutrition, and maternal-health tips. I built the model that spots and names the food, and I built the FastAPI backend that serves it. I added Paystack, Stripe, and PayPal payments to a live product at work.

I build for African problems, because the global tools often miss what we need here. I also teach backend basics to a student group. Teaching shows me fast whether I really understand a thing or just think I do.
