Full-stack engineer working across AI systems, backend architecture, and security. Based in Nigeria.

I build end-to-end systems that can run offline, stay private, and ship. Creator of SALLY — Science Artificial Learning Logic and You.

I build tech that respects privacy.

I'm a software engineer who enjoys owning products end-to-end — from backend architecture to the last UI detail. My work spans AI systems, backend, and security.

I'm currently heads-down on Sally Station — a local, offline-capable AI assistant designed as a full "Station OS" for desktop, paired with a companion Android app. Built around one idea: a personal assistant shouldn't require a constant connection to someone else's server.

Alongside that, I'm working through a structured cybersecurity and ethical hacking curriculum, because I want to build systems I can also defend. I'm open to full-stack, AI/ML, or systems-focused roles where I can bring that same ownership.

AI / Voice: llama.cpp Qwen2.5 Piper TTS faster-whisper whisper.cpp openWakeWord
Backend: Python Django + Channels FastAPI Flask PocketBase Node.js
Frontend / Desktop: PyQt6 / OpenGL Rust Dioxus Tailwind
Systems: Debian Linux Git Electronics / Robotics

2025 — present | v0.35 Voice Shipped | In development
Offline-first, private, voice-enabled personal assistant.

SALLY is not a chatbot demo. She runs 100% locally on your machine. No cloud. The core that powers Sally Station.

What it does today (v0.35):

• Offline Chat: llama.cpp + Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Instruct-Q3_K_L.gguf locally
• Tools: get_weather (OpenWeatherMap) + get_news (NewsAPI) — auto intent detection
• Memory: memory.json with last 10 turns for context
• Voice: Piper TTS en_US-lessac-medium (natural, offline) + faster-whisper tiny (39MB, offline STT)
• API: FastAPI server for companion apps
• Portable & Identity Locked: PROJECT_ROOT paths, anti-JARVIS filter

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/Techma2004/SALLY.git
cd SALLY && python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# download models (see repo README)
cp .env.example .env # add OPENWEATHER_API_KEY, NEWS_API_KEY
python3 main.py # Press Enter = voice, Type = text

In development
The full vision of SALLY — desktop OS + Android companion. Currently designing the macro/protocol system and mood state machine that voice tone and avatar behavior will be built on.

2024 — 2025 | Deployed
School management portal for a secondary institution, handling result processing across five user roles and six houses, with WAEC-standard grading. Now in active use and handed off to staff.
PocketBase Role-based access Grading systems

2023 — 2024 | Prototype
Private messaging platform built solo from a single Flask app — real-time chat, contact discovery via phone matching and QR codes, consent-based message request flow. Later version explored P2P payments and admin panel with AI-assisted moderation.
Flask Real-time messaging

2024 | Active
Lightweight browser built in Rust with Dioxus, using system webview to run from single codebase on desktop and Android. Includes tab management, URL normalization, DuckDuckGo fallback.

Prototype | Concept
Remote controlled surveillance vehicle — wireless camera, night vision, electric drive in hardware design phase. Planned upgrades: autonomous navigation, GPS, obstacle avoidance.
Robotics Electronics

Main focus: SALLY v0.35 is stable. Building v0.4 wake word "Hey SALLY" with openWakeWord + v0.5 Tauri desktop GUI + RAG over docs.

Learning: Cybersecurity and ethical hacking — building systems I can defend.

Open to: Full-stack, backend, or AI-systems roles and collaborations.
