Andela

Get to know Orji M.C, Software Engineer and graduate of Andela's intensive AI training program. “I build LLM-powered systems that automate complex business workflows and enhance decision-making, helping teams work faster with fewer manual bottlenecks.” Orji specializes in Frontend Development and Fullstack Development. “The most valuable thing I learned is how to design production-ready RAG and LLM systems that reliably use an organization’s own data while maintaining security, accuracy, and scalability, something large enterprises critically need for safe AI adoption.” Orji believes that waiting to adopt AI will mean falling behind. “It’s important because AI is already reshaping how companies operate, and the organizations that adopt it early gain a massive advantage in efficiency, decision-making, and cost reduction. Waiting means falling behind competitors who are using AI to automate workflows, deliver faster customer experiences, and generate insights that humans simply can’t produce at scale. Integrating AI now also helps enterprises modernize their tech stacks, prepare their data, and build the internal capability they’ll need to stay relevant in the next wave of digital transformation.” Orji loves a good challenge and actually making a difference in organizations. “I’m excited by the chance to solve large, complex problems at scale and build AI systems that deliver real impact across entire organizations.” Let us help you find the AI-fluent talent you need to close the AI skills gap: thisisande.la/4dRVmR5

Shipping fast is easy to measure. Real impact isn’t. How do you evaluate engineering contribution beyond velocity metrics? Best impact indicator?

Get to know Bolade Ayandeji, Senior Accountant at Andela. “I tell stories with numbers, and I also focus on improving financial processes, ensuring accurate reporting, and supporting the business with reliable financial data for decision-making.” Bolade’s favourite thing about working at Andela is the people. “I remember when I had my first interview and how warm and kind the People Team were to me, that was enough for me. I saw an opening for an associate accountant role online, I applied, and I was invited for a test, and the rest is history.” We asked Bolade to share two truths and a lie. Can you spot the lie? ✦ I have read 2000 books ✦ I live in Nigeria ✦ I once had a pet chicken #ThisIsAndela #BusinessSolutions #TechHiring

Meet Ezeanyi, AI/ML Engineer, and graduate of Andela’s intensive AI program. “I help teams turn SOPs/runbooks and expert steps into agentic, auditable workflows that plan, call tools, and draft outputs, with eval gates, p95 latency and token budgets, and human in the loop.” Ezeanyi specializes in designing agentic AI systems from operating documents (SOPs, runbooks, policy manuals, PRDs, ticket history). He encodes expert steps into plans and safe tool calls; wires models into evaluation environments (goldens, judge prompts, regression suites); enforces latency/token budgets; and captures feedback to curate datasets for fine-tuning (SFT/LoRA). He also adds prompt/tool fuzzing, red teaming, and spec/property assertions on outputs. His stack: Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, LangChain/DSPy, FAISS/PGVector, GitHub Actions, Docker/Kubernetes, AWS/GCP. During his training, Ezeanyi learnt to start small, measure everything and improve as you go. “Evaluation-first wins. Ship a thin slice tied to a business metric, keep people in the loop, and wire models to an eval harness (goldens, regression, budgets) from day one. Add fuzzing/red teaming and property checks as you scale; capture edits to improve the system and curate fine-tuning data.” Ezeanyi believes organizations should take a measured approach to AI implementation. “Model and tooling capability is compounding: better reasoning and tool use, longer context windows, faster and cheaper inference, structured outputs, and sturdier eval/safety tooling. Early adopters are turning SOPs/runbooks and ticket or PR history into agentic workflows that cut cycle time. Waiting invites shadow AI (unapproved, untracked use on sensitive content), slows internal learning, and leaves value locked in PDFs, tickets, and code reviews. A measured rollout using small slices, evaluation harnesses (goldens, judge prompts, regression), p95 latency and token budgets, governance, and red teaming with property checks lets you capture gains now without re-architecting core systems.” He has this advice for Enterprises who don’t know where to start: “Start with one high-friction workflow tied to a business metric. Translate SOPs and runbooks into an agentic plan that uses a small, approved set of tools. From day one, connect the model to an evaluation harness—golden cases, judge prompts, regression tests—and set speed/cost budgets. Keep people in the loop and log sources, configs, and approvals. Add red teaming, prompt and tool fuzzing, and property checks before expanding. Turn reviewer edits into a clean dataset for fine-tuning. Promote changes only through CI gates.” Get real results with engineers ready to deliver measurable impact on your AI integrations: thisisande.la/4bG7ke2

Meet Gabriela, Customer Success Manager at Andela. “I partner with international clients and talent to build strong relationships and ensure engagement success. I develop and drive strategies that align business goals, optimize performance, and create value for all parties involved.” Gabriela’s favourite thing about working at Andela? “Collaborating with an amazing, top-tier global team I get to learn from, being part of a fast-growing, dynamic environment, and helping great talent succeed in impactful opportunities.” “The idea of being a bridge between talent and opportunity genuinely gave me clarity about the kind of impact I wanted to make. For me, Andela is not just my day-to-day job or the work that pays my bills. It's a place I genuinely want to see grow. It represents impact, growth, and purpose.” We asked Gabriela to share two truths and a lie. Can you spot the lie? ✦ I used to be a competitive swimmer. ✦ I'm a pro at skiing. ✦ I lived in Rome for a while. #ThisIsAndela #BusinessSolutions #TechHiring

Meet Tochukwu A. A, Software & AI Solutions Engineer and a graduate from Andela’s rigorous AI Engineering Bootcamp. “I help teams turn their slow, manual processes into simple, AI-powered workflows that save time and make their operations run smoother.” Tochukwu specializes in building scalable web applications and APIs (Node.js, TypeScript, React, Python), architecting AI-powered systems, integrating LLMs into real-world products, vector database pipelines, AI agents, automation workflows, and designing end-to-end platform experiences for enterprise teams. One of the key takeaways for Tochukwu during Andela’s AI Bootcamp was how to transform business requirements into functioning AI systems. “The program really sharpened my ability to break down business problems and map them to the right GenAI approach, not just building something that 'looks like AI,' but something that actually fits into an organization’s existing systems and delivers measurable value.” Tochukwu believes that enterprises that are embracing AI today will be the ones who remain competitive. “AI is already reshaping how fast teams can move. The longer enterprises wait, the wider the gap grows between them and companies that are already automating tasks, reducing operational overhead, and making better decisions with AI-powered tools. Starting now means staying competitive instead of playing catch-up later.” His advice for enterprises that don’t know where to start: “Don’t try to overhaul everything at once. Pick one painful workflow, build a small AI solution around it, and let that success guide your next steps. AI adoption becomes a lot less overwhelming when you start with something clear and meaningful.” Ready to close the AI skills gap in your organization?
