## About Ovie Okeh
Ovie Okeh is a software engineer based in the Netherlands who builds products end-to-end — from spec through architecture, implementation, release, and on-call. He works across TypeScript, Swift, and Rust, with a focus on shipping polyglot, spec-first systems.

Positioning: **Builder & Engineer**. Available for contract engagements, fractional tech-lead roles, and architect consulting — especially for founders shipping early products and teams that need end-to-end ownership across stacks.

### Current Work (April 2026)
- **SoundDojo** — Native Swift app for piano practice. MIDI-first scoring model that measures notes, timing, and touch in real time. Current main build. https://sounddojo.app
- Running contract engineering work in parallel.

### Active Public Products
- **BigPerspective** — Market-intelligence tool tracking how critical assets (oil, metals, grain, chips) flow between countries and when those flows come under pressure. https://bigperspective.ovie.dev
- **Kindling** — Platform for shared, guided routines; experiment in whether community and structure help people stick to goals. https://www.getkindling.app/en
- **ChatWrapped** — Turn a WhatsApp chat export into shareable stats on reply speed, night-owl energy, and who starts the chaos. https://chatwrapped.ovie.dev

### Career History
- **Bird** (2022–2025) — Full-stack engineer. Shipped features end-to-end across Bird's all-in-one small-business app: invoicing, CRM, projects, payroll, messaging. Three years.
- **Eurail** (2020–2022) — Frontend engineer. Built timetable and trip-planner features on eurail.com. First European market role.
- **Pusher** (earlier) — Front-end engineer on realtime APIs for chat, presence, live data. Published four tutorials. Pusher was acquired by MessageBird, which later rebranded to Bird — where Ovie ended up working years later.

### Technical Expertise
- **Languages**: TypeScript, Swift, Rust, JavaScript, Node.js
- **Frontend**: React, Next.js, SwiftUI, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion
- **Backend**: Node.js, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, GraphQL, Payload CMS
- **AI tooling**: LLM agents, real-time meeting and interview assistants, RAG systems
- **Practices**: Spec-first development, end-to-end ownership, code review, release management, on-call

### Availability
Open to contract, fractional, or architect engagements. Strongest fit: founders shipping early products, teams that need polyglot depth (TS + Swift or TS + Rust), and roles where end-to-end ownership matters more than narrow specialisation.
