Background: Co-founder and CTO of Sixth AI, an AI coding agent VSCode extension I built from Lagos to 350k installs and $27k in monthly revenue, with users organically switching from GitHub Copilot. Architected the full backend including a client-side agentic layer with a pure LLM proxy backend that handles thousands of concurrent requests. Owned everything from infrastructure decisions to VSCode marketplace growth and distribution.
Looking for a founding engineer or early engineer role at an AI-native startup where I can bring more than just code, product thinking, distribution instincts, and the kind of context that only comes from having built and shipped something real under real constraints. That's the sweet spot for me but open to other serious engineering roles where this kind of background is valued.
Open to full-time remote roles or startups willing to sponsor relocation/visa processing.
Remote: Yes, fully remote preferred. Open to relocation with visa sponsorship for the right opportunity, particularly EU/UK.
Willing to relocate: Yes, with visa support
Technologies: Python, FastAPI, Django, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, kubernetes, AWS, GCP
