Joseph Amos Ekpe · Backend AI Engineer
I build reliable backend systems with Go and explore practical ways to integrate AI into software products.
About
I'm Joseph Amos Ekpe, a backend engineer focused on building reliable backend systems and exploring practical ways to integrate AI into software products.
My primary engineering focus is backend development with Go. I enjoy designing APIs, working with databases and authentication, and building services that are structured to be understandable, maintainable, and reliable.
My AI engineering work has expanded my interest from simply building software to understanding how AI can become part of both the engineering workflow and the products themselves.
I'm continuously learning, building, testing ideas, and documenting what I learn as I work toward becoming a stronger backend engineer capable of building dependable AI-powered systems.
01
Go, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, authentication, middleware, testing, and service design.
02
Local LLM integration, AI-assisted development, prompt engineering, and practical AI applications.
03
Google IT Support certified with a practical background in technical support, systems operations, and troubleshooting.
Selected Work
A selection of backend and AI engineering projects that document how I build, learn, and reason through problems.
A Go-based CRUD REST API built as part of an AI-assisted engineering experiment. The project explores how progressively engineered prompts can influence the structure and quality of generated backend implementations.
A Go and PostgreSQL backend application featuring JWT authentication, middleware, protected API routes, and modules for managing students, results, admissions, classes, and fees.
An AI-powered personal engineering platform designed to combine a professional portfolio with a personal AI agent. The project explores practical AI integration alongside backend engineering.
Writing
Writing about backend engineering, AI-assisted development, lessons learned, and the process behind building real systems.
Engineering
My Week 2 journey at FlyRank AI, exploring how a vague coding request can be transformed into a structured engineering prompt.
