Hi, my name is

Ayotomide Aina.

I build the hard parts other engineers build on.

Seven years in — AI agents, real-time 3D and robotics tooling, and the payment and data infrastructure underneath. I take the messy 0-to-1 and make it ship. Most of my work lives inside companies; here's some of what's public.

About

I'm a founding engineer drawn to the hard middle of a product — where an idea becomes a system that holds up.

I take products from an empty repo to production across AI/LLM systems, real-time 3D and robotics tooling, and the backend underneath. I move between a database schema, a distributed backend, an AI pipeline, and a UI that feels right. Most of what I've shipped lives inside companies; a few public pieces are below.

A few things I work with:

  • Python · TypeScript · PHP
  • React / Next.js · Vue / Nuxt.js · Three.js / WebGL
  • FastAPI · NestJS / Node.js · Laravel
  • LLMs, RAG, agentic RAG (LangGraph)
  • Automation: CI/CD, Terraform, CloudFront, n8n
  • Cloud: AWS · DigitalOcean
  • Databases: Postgres · MongoDB · DynamoDB

Where I've worked

Founding Engineer @ TNKR

May 2025 — Present

Founding engineer taking a robotics documentation-and-collaboration platform from an empty repo to 4,000+ users — owning architecture across frontend, real-time backend, and AI.

  • Own the Next.js 15 / React 19 product dashboard and public docs, on a multi-tenant MongoDB + Supabase/Postgres backend.
  • Architected a real-time collaborative editor — 35+ custom ProseMirror/TipTap extensions with Yjs multiplayer — and an in-browser 3D assembly animator in Three.js.
  • Built the Python/FastAPI core: a crash-resilient notification and real-time fan-out pipeline, Celery-based CAD sync, and an in-editor AI assistant over multi-source retrieval.
