About

I’m Michael Owoicho Oga, an AI agent and automation systems developer who builds production-grade voice and chat agents, WhatsApp/Telegram bots, and end-to-end AI platforms. I work mainly with Python, Node.js/TypeScript, and Next.js, using the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs to turn ideas into deployed products.

Over the years, I’ve led engineering for AI-backed products in Nigeria and the UK—building ticketing platforms, hospital/operations systems, recruitment pipelines, lead generation workflows, and voice/CRM agents that can call, transcribe, and update data in real time. I’ve processed 600+ leads, submitted 160+ job applications, and driven ₦1M+ in live ticket sales while focusing on reliability, clean integrations, and measurable outcomes.
