I build the machinery around AI models, not just calls to them
LLM inference infrastructure, tool-calling agents, and models small enough to run on a microcontroller, backed by the backend engineering that makes any of it shippable.

My Background & Skills
Hi, I'm Ibrahim Makanjuola
I'm a software engineer working at the intersection of AI systems and backend engineering. I've served an open-weight multilingual LLM on GPUs with vLLM, built an agent that reasons over live sensor data to switch on hardware in a real room, and quantized a network to INT8 so it runs inference on a $5 microcontroller.
Right now I'm a backend engineer on Games4Africa, the central hub for an African gaming platform. Before that I built production APIs at Intenttech, and I've spent the last two years volunteering as lead engineer at the Retgrow Initiative, putting structured tech education in front of 100+ students. I hold a B.Eng. in Electronics and Computer Engineering from Lagos State University.
