Excited to share that I’ve been accepted into Cortex 3.0 by @onepipe_inc, a 12-week accelerator training Africa’s next generation of fintech builders. Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and building meaningful solutions. #CortexByOnePipe #Cortex3 #FintechBuilders

Spent the weekend deep in @mastra, building a Strategic Advisor Agent for the @hnginternship Stage 3 task, integrated with @teleximapp. It helps with competitor analysis, decision support, and idea feasibility. Full breakdown: dev.to/abisoyeo/building-ai-…

A few weeks ago, my partner @godwin_dht and I built Lumora during the @AltSchoolAfrica Hackathon. Lumora is a platform designed to educate Nigerian business owners and individuals on tax laws and business regulations. Our goal is to make accurate, accessible information available to everyone—reducing ignorance, ensuring compliance, and helping users avoid penalties. I led the frontend development, creating a clean, simple, and highly usable chatbot interface that makes navigating tax information intuitive. Under the hood: Backend: Python + FastAPI AI workflows: LangChain managing LLM pipelines Semantic search: Pinecone vector database across official resources Model: OpenAI powering our RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) setup Frontend: React + Vite How it works: The system intelligently decides whether to answer from its trained knowledge or pull supporting information from official tax documents—ensuring users get accurate, up-to-date guidance for their specific situations. We’re still awaiting hackathon results, but we’re excited about the potential impact for Nigerian entrepreneurs. Check it out here: github.com/abisoyeo/Lumora

Ever wanted to practice Spanish with someone learning English? That’s the idea behind PearLingo, a project I built after following @codesistency’s awesome tutorial on real-time apps. His walkthrough gave me the foundation, then I added my own layers: → Google login (Passport) → Admin tools → User profile management It uses Google Auth (Passport) sign-in, React + TanStack Query for the interface, Node.js + Express + MongoDB for backend, and GetStream SDK for real-time video & chat. Proof that the dev community is powerful, one tutorial can inspire someone else to explore, build, and grow.

I started software engineering thinking it was mostly about wiring APIs to a database and displaying results on a web page. But over time, I’ve realized it’s much bigger: it’s about building systems that are reliable, scalable, and maintainable. One of my biggest growth points has been mindset. I used to overthink ideas and hold back. Now, whenever curiosity strikes, I dive into how to build it — and that small shift has opened up so many learning opportunities. Leading my capstone team also pushed me outside my comfort zone. Beyond backend work, I had to dabble in product management, data analysis, cloud, even security concepts. Acting as the “link” between different parts of the team stretched me beyond pure coding. Tools I’ve worked with so far: •Node.js & Express → APIs and middleware •C# & ASP.NET Core → structured APIs, MVC apps, WebSockets •CI/CD → GitHub Actions, AWS •PostgreSQL + Sequelize ORM → relational schemas, migrations & models •MongoDB + Mongoose → documents & CRUD •Microsoft SQL + EF Core •RabbitMQ → message queue basics •Redis → caching •Paystack (test env) → payments Each tool has taught me to think less about “lines of code” and more about system design: how parts communicate, scale under load, and stay stable. I’ll keep documenting what I build (and break) as I grow on this journey
