IT Co-ordinator / Automation Officer / AI Developer
Request a quote with no obligation
AI developer and automation engineer blending two decades of hands-on network and systems engineering with modern AI. I design and build practical, privacy-first AI tools — LLM applications, autonomous agents, MCP integrations, and workflow automation — using TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, and local/open models (Ollama, OpenAI-compatible, Google GenAI). My work spans Vibe Coding, No-Code/Low-Code, skills development, and self-hosted infrastructure.
On the network side, I bring deep, real-world experience: planning and implementing network infrastructure across multiple countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, Madagascar, Zambia and South Africa), building server rooms, deploying Active Directory, Exchange, WSUS, SCCM, DFS and Forefront across the estate, and managing multi-site PABX (Alcatel, Siemens, Samsung), biometric access control, VSAT/UPS systems and call-centre environments for 200+ users. I'm equally comfortable with Cisco routing/switching, Windows Server, Linux and Azure AD.
I turn that operational background into AI-driven tooling: network automation, recruitment AI, SEO/content analysis and mobile apps — shipping production systems on my own self-hosted stack.
Self-Taught AI (last 4 years)
Everything below I taught myself from scratch over the past four years — no formal AI/ML coursework, just building production software. I run a self-hosted "Alfred AI OS" at home: a personal app hub hosting 10+ live AI applications I designed and shipped, including Recruit Raptor (AI CV parsing, JD matching & candidate ranking), ResumeBoost AI (ATS CV optimizer), RankCraft (YouTube SEO), AI.SEO (Core Web Vitals & GEO audit), NetConfig Analyzer AI (multi-vendor Cisco/Juniper/Huawei config analysis), StuddiBuddi (adaptive learning), Netsworth Dashboard (CCNA prep) and API LLM Keyguard (15+ LLM provider management).
On GitHub (a77lic7ion / AfflictedAI) I've open-sourced the wider ecosystem: OpenClaw (personal AI assistant), NetClaw (network-aware AI agent), NadirClaw (LLM router & cost optimizer), NemoClaw, llmfit (model/hardware fit finder), openwhispr (local voice-to-text), NovelAIcraft (AI writing studio) and Present.AI (AI presentation suite) — 300+ repositories in total. I also build MCP servers, agents, and Hermes desktop plugins, contributing to local-first, privacy-preserving AI tooling.
