Blossom Chikezie
Why Blossom Chikezie?
I don't just write code, I ship results. At Canalis Lab, I slashed page load times by 40% and automated workflows that cut processing time by 70% for 50+ users. At Regulon, I built the onboarding flow that brought in the first 10+ users and seamlessly integrated third-party APIs like Google Calendar and Stripe. At Prunedge, I led a document management system now running across two Nigerian states, shaving 30% off processing times.
Here's what makes me different: I'm combining battle-tested engineering chops with cutting-edge AI skills I gain from my MSc, think sentiment analysis, data extraction, machine learning pipelines. I bridge the gap between what works today and what's possible tomorrow. Hire me, and you get a developer who moves fast, thinks strategically, and turns complex problems into clean, measurable wins. Let's build something exceptional.
