I'm Daniel Olafisoye (@dannysoftdev), a business-minded software engineer who thrives at the intersection of complex system design and AI development. Through LUDA BLACK, I build scalable, production-ready platforms backed by robust architecture that actually solve business problems.

When I'm not shipping code, you'll find me creating tech content on TikTok as @dannysoftdev, running the court in basketball, unwinding with story-mode games, or exploring the latest AI trends with my community. I believe great software is built by engineers who focus on the business logic and underlying architecture, not just the syntax.
