I am Benjamin Agboola, a Senior Full-Stack Developer and Applied Generative AI Engineer with 14+ years of software engineering experience. I design and build AI-powered, cloud-native applications that translate complex business services into scalable, secure software solutions across finance, healthcare, telecommunications, government, and media. I specialize in applying Generative AI to practical engineering challenges, combining React, Node.js, TypeScript, Java, and Python with AWS-native architectures. I design and deploy LLM-powered systems using RAG pipelines, dynamic prompt engineering, vector databases, LangChain, and OpenAI / AWS Bedrock to enable intelligent search, chat-with-data, and AI-driven decision support. I have deep experience building microservices and data pipelines with Docker, Kubernetes, FastAPI, Spring Boot, and event-driven AWS services, supported by CI/CD, DevSecOps, and infrastructure-as-code. I lead teams in Agile environments, mentoring engineers and delivering high-impact GenAI solutions from concept to production.
