Al-ameen Olajide

software engineer based in lagos, nigeria

this is my personal public diary. documenting my journey, thoughts on religion, politics, education, tech, and life. everything i learn, build, and think about.

self-taught since 2020. currently studying computer science at lagos state university.

built 3 failed projects before finding success - grazias (saas for collecting testimonials), an openai api wrapper for writing articles (2022), and another that didnt work out. learned more from those failures than anything else.

most recently worked as a full-stack systems engineer at costcrunch (nyc, remote) where i architected enterprise-grade multi-tenant infrastructure with zero-trust security architecture, designed high-performance semantic search systems processing massive datasets with sub-millisecond latency, and engineered fault-tolerant event-driven systems with kafka.

now building whisper - an ai-powered code security platform that catches vulnerabilities through advanced execution flow analysis. enterprise-grade security auditing with cli, rest api, and web interface used by development teams worldwide.

specialize in distributed systems architecture, real-time data processing, blockchain security protocols, and production-scale machine learning infrastructure.

Ramadan Food Project

starting an organization to feed people during ramadan. the last two years i had nothing to eat for iftar or suhur. now im working to make sure others dont go through that.
