Charles Nwankpa - AI Product Engineer

Bridging the Gap Between AI Capability and Business Value

I'm an engineer who speaks business. And a business builder who codes in production. I help companies build, combine, and scale AI without the complexity.

About me

My approach? Design self-contained AI modules that start small, then assemble into powerful production systems as needs grow.

Most AI projects fail because they're either too technical for business adoption or too simplistic for real-world complexity. I bridge that gap.

I've deployed ML systems, fine-tuned LLMs for production environments, and built fault-tolerant infrastructure that executives actually trust with their operations.

Currently:

Helping forward-thinking leaders implement AI transformation through modular, scalable solutions that grow with their business.
