Eze David Obinna
Senior Software Engineer • AI Engineer • Technology Product Builder
I build intelligent digital products and production-grade software systems across AI, fintech, SaaS, web and mobile — from architecture and engineering to deployment.
An End-to-End Technology Builder
I take products from idea through architecture, engineering, AI, and integrations, all the way to production infrastructure. That range — across AI, fintech, SaaS, web, and mobile — is deliberate: real products rarely fail because of one weak layer, they fail at the seams between layers, and someone has to own the whole thing.
As founder and technical lead at ClaBiTs, that ownership isn't theoretical. I make the architecture decisions, write the code, deploy the infrastructure, and make the product and business calls that come with running a technology company.
“I can lead the business conversation, make the architecture decision, and still go deep into the code and infrastructure when necessary.”
Career Evolution
Career Timeline
Founder, Team Lead & Senior Software Developer
ClaBiTs LTD
Leads product direction, architecture, and engineering at ClaBiTs — from the school-management platform used by African schools to the fintech, AI, and mobile products built alongside it. Combines hands-on engineering with the product and business decisions that come with running the company.
Artificial Intelligence & Intelligent Systems
Works across the full AI application lifecycle — not just calling a model API, but designing how AI fits into a real product: how it remembers context, retrieves the right information, fails safely, and gets deployed and served in production.

Backend
Fintech & Financial Systems
Financial software has different rules than ordinary CRUD applications: correctness, traceability, and security matter more than a polished interface. That distinction shapes how these systems get designed — validation before action, auditable state transitions, and webhook/error handling that assumes external providers will fail.
Mobile Engineering
Flutter is the primary mobile stack — used to ship cross-platform consumer and fintech-adjacent applications that talk to a real backend rather than static demo apps.
Software Architecture
Designs systems across the full stack — from the client down to the infrastructure it runs on.
DevOps, Infrastructure & Production Engineering
He doesn't just build applications; he can get them running in production.
“I don't stop at writing the application. I understand what it takes to deploy, operate, troubleshoot and maintain it in production.”

Databases in Production
The Kind of Production Problems He Handles
- Migrating a live production site to a new stack without breaking a legacy system sharing the same database
- Keeping a `prisma db push` schema-sync workflow from ever touching another application's tables
- Zero-downtime service restarts via systemd (`Restart=on-failure`) behind an Nginx reverse proxy
- Issuing and renewing HTTPS certificates (Let's Encrypt/certbot) for a live domain
- Running the app as a dedicated non-root system user with a locked-down systemd unit (`ProtectSystem=strict`, `NoNewPrivileges`)
- Webhook signature verification and idempotent handling for third-party callbacks
- Diagnosing and recovering from deployment and dependency issues on a production VPS
Database Engineering
A secondary, exploratory capability alongside the core AI/software/fintech work.

Domain Breadth
Founder / CEO / Technology Leader — ClaBiTs LTD
Building and leading a technology company requires capabilities beyond writing software — product direction, technical decision-making, client relationships, and the judgment to prioritize what actually matters.
Building ClaBiTs
ClaBiTs isn't just a coding project — it's the experience of building technology, a product, and a business at the same time.

Leadership
Leadership Capabilities
Lead by understanding
Understand the problem before directing implementation.
Lead by example
Stay technically capable rather than becoming disconnected from engineering.
Give people ownership
Create room for people to solve problems rather than micromanaging every detail.
Make decisions
Leadership requires making decisions when information is incomplete.
Learn continuously
Technology leaders must keep learning as the tools change.
Build people and products
Successful technical leadership means developing both systems and people.
Where Technology Meets Business
Communication
Translates complex technical requirements into language that both technical and non-technical stakeholders can understand.
Ownership
Takes products from concept through engineering, deployment, and ongoing improvement — not just an assigned ticket.
Critical Thinking
Evaluates technical trade-offs, architecture decisions, cost, scalability, and reliability before committing to an approach.
Adaptability
Has worked across AI, fintech, SaaS, education, e-commerce, mobile and infrastructure — comfortable moving between domains.
Client Management
Understands client requirements, translates them into technical solutions, and manages expectations through delivery.
Continuous Learning
Actively explores AI, software architecture, and infrastructure as the tools and best practices evolve.
The Kind of Problems I Solve
“We need a product.”
Design and engineer it, end to end.
“We need an existing system rebuilt.”
Analyze the current system and architect its replacement.
“Our backend doesn't scale.”
Investigate the architecture and performance bottlenecks.
“We need AI inside our product.”
Design the AI application architecture around the real use case.
“We need a banking/payment integration.”
Build the integration and the transaction workflows around it.
“Our application needs to go to production.”
Handle the infrastructure and deployment.
From Concept to Production
Eze David Obinna is a hands-on technology leader who combines deep software engineering with AI, product development, infrastructure, fintech, business thinking, and entrepreneurship — able to work at the strategic level with a client or business owner, move into architecture and engineering, and go all the way down to the production infrastructure required to operate the system.
