Location: United Kingdom Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Yes (within the UK) Technologies: Java, TypeScript, Spring Boot, React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL Résumé/CV: https://github.com/nifski Email: nifemiodumosu@icloud.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oluwanifemi-odumosu-b531862a3?ut...

I am a backend-leaning full-stack engineer experienced in building production systems across Java/Spring Boot, Node.js/TypeScript, and Python. I thrive on solving complex backend problems, managing enterprise-grade infrastructure, and automating data-intensive processes.

Engineering Experience & Achievements:

Enterprise Backend & Pricing Logic: Navigated and troubleshot complex, enterprise-grade pricing engines. Traced intricate business logic through the data layer, stored procedures, and configuration scoring systems to accurately resolve high-stakes financial discrepancies. Systemic Problem Solving: Spearheaded large-scale SQL investigations, identifying systemic batch-job failures that affected over 110,000 accounts and billions in stranded funds. Strengthened platform stability by tracing logic mismatches across frontend and backend environments, engineering bulk database corrections, and writing integration tests to validate complex caching behaviors.

Full-Stack Development & Conversion: Led backend development for a content-prediction platform, taking the product from concept to a live environment. Rebuilt high-traffic company websites, driving a 15% increase in user conversion rates through re-engineered React interfaces and optimized backend infrastructure.

Data Engineering & Pipelines: Architected data processing flows and model pipelines in Python, establishing the foundational frameworks for optimization intelligence layers. Engineered automated data ingestion and sanitization pipelines for high-dimensional datasets to support proprietary AI analysis.

Key Projects:

Production Data-Harvesting: Engineered a modular Python/Playwright engine for B2B lead generation, leveraging stealth browsing, proxy integrations, and Pydantic schemas to maintain 99%+ uptime and high data integrity.

Secure Systems: Architected a zero-trust multi-tenant application with database-level isolation, Spring Security 6/JWT authentication, and ACID-compliant PostgreSQL schemas.

Personal Automation: Built and maintained a self-built infrastructure of terminal-based Python CLI tools for daily productivity, automated via MacOS LaunchAgents.

SEEKING FREELANCE WORK | UX/UI & web design

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background of launching my own products and being a full stack developer helps me create practical designs that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort, and performance. I work to fixed price quotes for self-contained projects.

---

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO/speed/security problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), marketing, website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

Location: Asunción, Paraguay Remote: Yes (full overlap with US timezones) Willing to relocate: No / remote only Technologies: Product Design, UX/UI, Design Systems, Complex Workflows, Onboarding UX, Dashboards / data-dense interfaces, Interaction Design, Prototyping, AI-assisted Prototyping, Figma, FigJam, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vue.js, Hotjar Résumé/CV: https://sebatorresi.com/Seba_Torresi_CV.pdf LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sebastiantorresi Portfolio: sebatorresi.com Email: sebatorresi@gmail.com

Senior Product Designer,+ 5 years in B2B SaaS and fintech, 20+ in visual design and art direction. I turn complex, data-dense workflows into interfaces people can actually use. At a Kansas City fintech I cut onboarding drop-off ~15% by reworking the flow around where users actually dropped, and laid the foundations of the design system.

I work close to engineering: I prototype with AI-assisted tools and HTML/CSS, so I validate flows before they hit code and hand off things that are ready to build. Lo oking for full-time product design or design systems work.

Do people actually find jobs this way? Just asking.

Very rarely they would, I believe. There are thousand of applicants for each job posted. Why would a hiring manager go through a hackernews post unless the skills required are very niche.
