Chimezie Ekpendu
Design Engineer
open to remote roles
I'm a design engineer. I work between design and code, building AI products that feel human. AI is part of how I work too: it helps me test ideas, build the interface and ship pages that convert.
Over the past six years I've worked with teams at Deel, Foundation, Chedda Finance, Bulan and Appmakers, helping shape products from concept to launch.
