Projects

HEX-IAM — Open Source Multi-Tenant Identity & Access Management Platform

• Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, redis, OAUTH 2.0, postgresql, asyncpg, bcrypt, bloom filters • Designed production-grade, multi-tenant IAM platform providing secure authentication, authorization, and identity lifecycle management for SaaS applications • Implemented OAuth/OlDC-compliant authentication flows supporting PKCE, authorization codes, and refresh-token rotation • Built fine-grained authorization with RBAC, FGA, and ABAC-style policies, enforcing strict per-tenant isolation at application and database layers • Designed Redis-backed deterministic token revocation system using Bloom filters for 0(1) revocation checks with constant-time validation, avoiding per-request database calls or introspection endpoints while maintaining strong security guarantees where false positives result in forced re-authentication but never privilege escalation • Enforced strong tenant isolation using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS), enabling safe multi-tenant operation across shared infrastructure

(Data quotient) Leveler — Multi-Tenant DaaS & Al Platform

• Tech Stack: Python, FastA PI, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS S3, RAG, Docker • Architected multi-tenant Data-as-a-Service platform aggregating Nigerian and African datasets with market-place for dataset and ML/AI model monetization • Implemented RAG-powered business intelligence with real-time database connectivity for natural-language querying and insight generation • Built configurable, event-driven agentic workflows supporting data enrichment, compliance checks, analytics pipelines, and custom business logic with strict per-tenant isolation

Conversational AI Engine (Mango Zest Labs)

• Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, RabbitMQ, Redis, Open-weight models (faster-whisper, piper-tts, chatterbox-ai, Mistral, Vicuna, Llama 3.2+), RAG, Refrag, postgresql, pgvector • Architected production-grade Conversational AI engine powering virtual call centers and automated customer interaction platforms • Designed layered architecture comprising: SIP ingress layer for call handling, call orchestrator bridging SIP sessions to engine's WebSocket endpoints, STT ingestion for real-time transcription, RAG-based context engine, reasoning/orchestration layer for intent resolution, and TTS voice synthesis • Built scalable backend services coordinating real-time audio streaming, context enrichment, and response generation under high-concurrency call sessions

Demand Forecasting Platform

• Tech Stack: Python, Streamlit, Prophet, XGBoost, Random Forest, Pandas • Built interactive dashboards integrating Prophet, XGBoost, and Random Forest models for time-series forecasting • Delivered real-time demand and inventory forecasts, enabling proactive inventory management and reduced stock-outs by 25%

Domain-specific-search-engine

• Tech Stack: Python, Streamlit, OpenAI API, FAISS • Developed Retrieval-Augmented Generation application enabling natural-language querying over domain-specific datasets • Delivered precise, context-aware answers by combining semantic retrieval with LLM-based reasoning
