Hi, I'm Segun Alabi, a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling React and Node.js apps across fintech, AI, and data-driven platforms. I design and implement TypeScript + GraphQL systems, integrate AI/LLM features, and deliver reliable products used by millions of users. I'm a hands-on leader who mentors engineers and shapes front-end-to-back-end architecture. I’m motivated by building practical, responsible AI and user-focused software that improves access, transparency, and real-world decision-making through clean design and robust data. I thrive in cross-functional teams, advocate accessible design (WCAG), and enjoy turning complex ideas into robust, scalable solutions.
