About Me

Hi! Iโ€™m Odinaka Joy, a Software Engineer focused on building AI-powered web applications that are smart, scalable, and user-centered.

I have worked on meaningful projects across industries: from building ERP systems for local businesses to contributing to the OCaml ecosystem through Outreachy and Tarides. Most recently, I was a Software Engineer at AcceleratorApp, a startup incubation platform.

I work mostly with JavaScript/TypeScript using Node.js, Express, React, and Next.js, and I am currently expanding into Python to deepen my AI integration work. I am also exploring OCaml for functional web development.

Beyond coding, I love mentoring developers, speaking at tech events, and contributing to open-source communities.
