Hi, I'm Ike Ekeocha
Senior software engineer specialising in AI model training & fine-tuning, full-stack web with Next.js, mobile with Flutter, and Python backends. Worked remotely with teams across the UK, Canada & USA.
About Me
Building intelligent
software at scale
I'm a senior software engineer with over 7 years of experience building production-grade systems. My core passion is training and fine-tuning AI models — from curating datasets and setting up training pipelines, to RLHF and deploying models to production APIs.
Beyond AI, I architect full-stack web applications with Next.js & Tailwind, build cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter & Dart, and power backends with Python (FastAPI / Django).
I've collaborated remotely with product teams and startups across the UK, Canada and the United States, delivering projects from zero to launch — on time, every time.
