Omotayo Iyiola
I am a Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in full-stack development and technical leadership. I specialize in modern web technologies, including JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, and AWS. My expertise spans frontend frameworks (React, Next.js), backend architectures (Node.js, Flask), and databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
I have led diverse projects, from HRIS systems to eVoting platforms, focusing on scalability, security, and system performance. Recently, I developed an AI-driven response evaluator app, enhancing NLP with the Natural library and refining machine learning models, strengthening my AI and model evaluation skills.
With a collaborative leadership style grounded in values of Excellence, Passion, Integrity, and Commitment, I have led initiatives that increased revenue and improved institutional rankings, including overseeing the creation of over 15 educational applications at Yaba College of Technology.
Also, actively use Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT in my day‑to‑day work.
- Cursor: I lean on repo-wide context to refactor legacy modules, generate test suites, run multi-file code mods, and rapidly scaffold React/Next.js features. I also use its inline “chat-on-selection” to explain unfamiliar code paths and to produce migration scripts (e.g., Prisma/PostgreSQL schema changes).
- GitHub Copilot: Great for fast boilerplate (handlers, DTOs, Prisma models), unit tests, and typed hooks in TypeScript-heavy codebases.
- ChatGPT: Architecture brainstorming, prompt engineering for LLM features (LangChain), complex regex, and translating requirements into clean DDD/Clean Architecture boundaries.
This combo has materially reduced cycle time on projects like IntelliTest (AI-powered CBT) and my LangChain eCommerce chatbot, where I used AI tools to scaffold multi-turn LLM workflows, write evaluation chains, and iteratively harden the codebase.
My goal is to leverage my technical and leadership skills to drive innovation and deliver transformative solutions aligned with business objectives.
