About

I build the backends products stand on, and AI systems that still work after the demo.

Personnel file

Software Engineer | Forward Deployed Engineer

I'm Akin, a software engineer. Most of my work is backend: the services, data and integrations a product can't run without. I've done it across gaming, fintech and security, and today I'm a backend developer at Metaverse Magna.

I'm also co-founder and CTO of Gethsemane Tech, where we build and run our own software brands. One is Klina, a home cleaning marketplace live in the UK and Nigeria, where I built the backend, the apps and the dynamic pricing. Another is Brinlow, reconciliation and regulatory reporting for Nigerian capital markets, now live. I ran its discovery and built it. And there's metriq.studio, our software development studio, where I've led engineering since early 2025.

I was building with AI before 2025, and it's now half of what I do. People kept asking me for it, and most of what they'd seen was a demo that fell over on real input. But most of a real AI system is backend work: data, queues, failures and cost. That's what I already do every day. So I build the version that holds up, and I've watched a good one give a team back hours of repetitive work.

In 2026 I built five of them end to end: an agent that finds and qualifies leads with evidence for every claim, one that turns an idea into a researched article, workflows that pull data out of invoices and write the operations report, and a proposal app where a person approves before anything goes out.

However big the job, I work the same way. I start from someone else's messy problem, ask the questions that shape it, and write the spec before any code. Then I build it, ship it, and hand it over with docs and a walkthrough.

I use coding agents to move faster. The design and the decisions are mine, and nothing ships until I've reviewed it and tested it.
