Chike Ajoku
Product Engineer
I build products at the intersection of developer experience and systems design. My work focuses on creating tools that make engineering teams more effective - removing ceremony, sharpening feedback loops, and shipping software that holds up under real pressure.
Most recently I have been working on the early tooling and infrastructure at Poke, where I help shape a platform that lets developers ship full applications without leaving their terminal. Before that I spent years building across the stack at fast-moving startups, learning that the best systems are the ones you barely notice.
End-to-end product development from first principles. Systems thinking meets disciplined execution - architecture, infrastructure, and interfaces built to scale with the problem.
Tools that sharpen how people build. CLI ergonomics, build pipelines, and automation that remove friction rather than rearrange it.
High-leverage patterns for teams moving fast. CI/CD strategy, code review protocols, and deployment practices that keep velocity high and surface area low.
