Elevator Pitch
Samuel ships production systems built for real load. At TripAdvisor, he cut AI deployment time from two weeks to 30 minutes and improved ML query runtimes 360x. He works across backend engineering, ML pipelines, and distributed infrastructure with equal depth in each. He's based in Lagos, open to relocation, and looking for senior engineering roles at US companies.
Key Strengths
- ·He leaves quantified results at every role: 360x faster queries, 90% lower inference latency, and deployment time cut from two weeks to 30 minutes.
- ·He writes Python and Go fluently and picks based on what the system needs.
- ·He designs distributed systems from scratch, event-driven and built for high throughput.
- ·He's taken ML models from training through RAG pipelines to production Kubernetes deployments.
- ·He's mentored PhD-level engineers and led cross-functional delivery without drama.
- ·He owns problems end-to-end, with on-call incident response experience at AI platforms serving real traffic.
- ·Five years of shipping across backend, ML infrastructure, and distributed systems, with depth in all three.
