About Me
Hi, I'm John Nkpolukwu, a Melbourne-based Software Engineer and Computer Science Master's student with over 3 years of hands-on experience delivering high-performance web and backend solutions. I specialise in full stack development using Python, React, Next.js, and Node.js, with a growing focus on machine learning, MLOps, and AI integration.
I've shipped production features for major retailers like Myer, built custom e-commerce solutions for agencies, and recently led the development of an AI-powered platform for tech event discovery. From integrating RESTful APIs and automating workflows to reducing critical user errors by 10%, I thrive in fast-paced agile environments where technical excellence meets exceptional user experience.
Whether you need a reliable full stack developer, someone to architect your next web application, or help integrating AI capabilities into your product I bring both technical depth and entrepreneurial drive. Available for freelance projects, contract work, and collaborative opportunities.
