Hi, I'm The Chikeluba Modozie

Backend Engineer — PHP/Laravel & Node.js

I build backend systems, APIs, and AI-powered tools that streamline workflows and hold up in production — for businesses that need their software to actually work.

What I Help With

Where I add the most value on a project.

Backend Systems & APIs

I build the part of the app users never see — the database, the login system, the logic that decides what happens when someone clicks a button. PHP/Laravel and Node.js, built to actually hold up once real people start using it.

AI & Agentic Automation

Beyond simple chatbots — I build AI agents that can actually take action: read an inbox and respond, pull data from one system and update another, run a multi-step process end to end instead of just answering questions about it.

Workflow Automation

Finding the manual steps slowing a team down — repetitive data entry, spreadsheet juggling, status updates over WhatsApp — and replacing them with software that runs on its own and gives everyone one source of truth.

About

In 2021 I left a stable job at Nigerian Breweries to learn to build software. I'd been doing Electronic Bottle Inspection work — steady, predictable, and not where I wanted to be in ten years. I saved up, bought a laptop, and started from the basics.

I trained through Genesys Tech Hub, then AltSchool Africa, and I'm currently finishing a B.Sc in Software Engineering at Miva Open University. I now run engineering as CTO at Auntie Jay's Group.

These days I mostly write PHP/Laravel and Node.js, and I'm getting into AI too. I run Thryve Trybe, a community I started for people on the same path I was on in 2021 — people who left something stable to figure out tech the hard way, like I did.
