Hi, I'm Foluso.

Co-Founder & CTO at Stears — 7+ years building Africa's most comprehensive financial data platform from zero to production as a founding engineer. Based in London.

Most of my work lives on GitLab (private). Here's what it looks like:

• AI/ML — LangGraph-powered deep search, ML model serving (SPLADE++, BM25), RAG pipelines, vector search (Qdrant), multi-agent systems (CrewAI)
• Data Engineering — collection & enrichment pipelines, Prefect orchestration, dbt transformations, fault-tolerant batch processing
• Infrastructure — Terraform IaC (GCP), Kubernetes on GKE, Helm charts, FluxCD GitOps, Docker, GitLab CI/CD
• Backend — Django, FastAPI, Express — REST & GraphQL APIs, multi-tenant architecture, auth systems
• Frontend — React/Next.js web apps, TypeScript, Excel plugin
• Distributed Systems — scaled the platform with Kubernetes to handle millions of requests and active users per minute at peak

Languages: Python · TypeScript · Terraform/HCL · SQL

Cloud & data: GCP (GKE, CloudSQL, GCS) · AWS (S3, IAM) · PostgreSQL · Redis · Qdrant
