Full-stack engineer and CS student at the University of Ghana. I built and run Arcyn Find (https://arcynfind.com), a live AI-tool search engine with 15,500+ tools, 5,900+ SEO pages and a 15-language interface, from first commit to production in under a year.

A few things I've shipped there:

- Hybrid vector + full-text search with LLM re-ranking, raising top-1 recommendation accuracy from 62% to 81% on a labelled eval set.

- Traced a duplicate-ingest bug (94% of 273k rows were duplicates) to one misplaced .limit() and safely removed 257,956 rows.

- Rewrote a job that failed 40 runs out of 40 as one set-based SQL function that finishes in 733 ms.

- Fixed an SSRF hole and spoofable rate limiting, then added Redis rate limiting after a ~28,000-request bot flood.

I also co-founded Analify (https://analify.fly.dev), a cookieless analytics product in private beta, with one co-founder. I built its AI features, crawlers and traffic filtering.

Looking for a junior or mid-level full-stack or AI engineering role on a team where I can own features end-to-end. Happy to do a take-home or walk through any of the code.
