02 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Jay AdemolaTHINK IT THROUGH. BUILD IT WELL.

An engineer’s mindset.
A founder’s perspective.

I like making things that are useful, and understanding what makes them work.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover, with 10+ years of experience. Alongside my professional engineering work, I independently build and launch SaaS products. That means thinking about the whole journey: the customer’s problem, the interface, the infrastructure and what happens after launch.

My work spans frontend applications, backend APIs, cloud architecture, authentication, payments, real-time systems and AI integration. I also build AI workflows for organisations, bringing automation into everyday business processes. I choose technology to fit the requirement, with a focus on maintainable products and sensible operating costs.

How I build on AWS
01

SaaS & product development

From an early idea to a product people can use. Practical scope, thoughtful user journeys and a foundation that can evolve.

02

Backend & cloud architecture

APIs and AWS infrastructure shaped around the requirement. Serverless where it fits, with maintainability and operating costs in mind.

03

AI workflows for organisations

I build AI workflows for organisations, connecting AI capabilities with existing systems and everyday processes. Practical automation shaped around how a team works and what it needs to achieve.

04

Java & Kubernetes

Backend services with Java and container orchestration with Kubernetes (K8s), shaped around workload requirements, deployment needs and maintainable operations.

05

React & developer tools

Responsive applications and tools that make complex workflows easier. Clear interfaces for people and useful abstractions for developers.

06

The connections that matter

Authentication, payments, real-time systems and third-party integrations, brought together into a coherent product.

07

Performance & reliability

Understand the bottleneck, make the right trade-offs and keep the product dependable as its needs change.

04 / THINKING OUT LOUD

Making software
make sense.

I share software engineering explainers, practical ideas and things I learn along the way.
