Summary

AI automation engineer with three years of shipping production systems. I design and run the automation behind DreamFoxVerse: 20+ n8n workflows covering lead intake, a retrieval-augmented support agent, cold outbound, payments and a paid client portal, with a database-side send gate, central error handling and a liveness watchdog. On-chain, I built and operate a flash-loan arbitrage bot on Arbitrum. B.Eng from Ahmadu Bello University.

Selected systems

Automation backbone: 20+ production n8n workflows behind one Postgres send gate (opt-out, suppression, ownership, cooldown, daily cap) with a central error handler, a 30-minute liveness watchdog and 25+ live end-to-end checks.
Support agent: Gmail triage, multi-query retrieval over a Pinecone knowledge base, an LLM judge with revision, and auto-send only for low-risk answers.
Client portal and checkout: Firebase ID tokens verified in Cloudflare Pages Functions, identity-keyed Flutterwave checkout, signature-verified idempotent webhooks, and 100+ API contract checks.
Outbound engine: signal-based sourcing, decision-maker enrichment with key-pool failover and budget checks, evidence-based drafting, a model judge and content-based reply detection.

Projects

On-chain arbitrage bot

Solidity · Node.js · Python · Balancer flash loans · Arbitrum

Off-chain services watch pool prices and pending transactions and estimate profit after gas; a Solidity executor takes a Balancer flash loan, swaps across two DEXs and repays in the same transaction.
The minimum profit is enforced on-chain, so a trade that no longer pays reverts with no position left open. Runs on Arbitrum mainnet.
