Curriculum vitae
Chukwuemelie “Chuk” Uyammadu
AI Systems & Data Infrastructure Engineer
Summary
Builder of AI-assisted systems and the data and infrastructure they run on. Comfortable across AI orchestration, backend services, local infrastructure, and business operations. Bias toward safe automation, human-in-the-loop review, read-only data boundaries, and reviewer-visible decision trails. Operator background informs deployment discipline, written handoff, and a documented rollback path for every change.
Selected work
Orion — Safe AI Business Intelligence Prototype
Python/FastAPI prototype that turns natural-language business questions into structured BI responses. Sanitization, typed BI plans, guardrail gates, destructive-operation blocking, read-only connector execution on fictional local CSV data, deterministic evals, and reviewer-visible decision trails.
ForgeWorks / ForgeTable — Local builder community platform
Rust + Axum + SQLite prototype with a small public surface and a gated operator side. Single source of truth for build metadata, data-driven home counts, RSVP intake, and a public pilot confidence check that verifies what the public can see before launch.
Peppino’s — Restaurant technology operations
Hands-on restaurant technology work: web presence, local SEO, POS awareness, camera and network troubleshooting, and day-to-day operations pressure. Focus on uptime, written handoff, and small-team reliability. Internal details and identifying data kept off public copy.
Crenshaw — Local agent + ntfy workflow
Local agent workflow that posts short ntfy checkpoints during build, edit, and audit cycles on this site and related projects. Used to keep human-in-the-loop review fast without exposing secrets or hardcoding tokens.
Raspberry Pi homelab / local services lab
Repeatable Pi-based infrastructure for local services, dashboards, and edge tooling. Linux, Docker, systemd, Tailscale, and Cloudflare Tunnel patterns for owner-controlled remote access — a reference template for small-business local-first deployments.
dev.uyammadu.com — Static portfolio & services site
Static HTML, SASS design system, and a small Cloudflare Pages Function for the contact form (honeypot, length cap, Resend integration). Clean routes, no tracking scripts, no JS frameworks, and a documented deployment path on Cloudflare Pages.
Working principles
- Scope the business problem in writing before picking a tool.
- Prefer read-only, inspectable, reversible workflows where risk matters.
- Keep public claims bounded to what is actually built or demonstrable.
- Document what changed, why, and how to roll it back.
- Treat AI like a junior teammate: typed plans, guardrails, and human review.
