Who I’ve worked with

Teams and organizations I’ve helped move from an idea to working software.

Nabil Ismail, software engineer in Kano, Nigeria
NABIL ISMAIL · SOFTWARE ENGINEER

The person behind the code.

I'm a computer science graduate of Northwest University, Kano, building software that solves real operational problems. I've delivered 5+ production systems for organizations in Kano, including enterprise management platforms, AI-powered workflow tools, and full-stack web applications.

Outside of code, I teach — running annual Supervised Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) workshops and an AI-assisted web development class in Kano. I also break down tech concepts on TikTok and am equally comfortable rebuilding a PC from scratch.

Systems Engineering

Enterprise platforms with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), approval workflows, document management, and PostgreSQL.

AI & Automation

AI-powered tools, document processing, workflow automation, and Large Language Model (LLM) integration.

Technical Education

Supervised Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) workshops, AI-assisted web development instruction, and tech content creation.

What I work with.

Ride the tunnel — one station per tool family, how I use each one, and the builds it shipped on.

Now approachingCORE LOOP

CORE LOOP

  • TypeScript

    Every serious build is typed end to end — contracts from database to UI.

    MRTB

  • React

    My default interface layer — component systems that stay fast as they grow.

    MRTBClassiFyBattle.net Live

  • Node.js

    The runtime behind my services, automations and tooling.

    ClassiFyGleamBot

  • PostgreSQL

    Schema design, Row Level Security, query performance — data modeled to last.

    MRTBClassiFyBattle.net

INTERFACE LINE

  • Next.js

    When a React build needs server rendering, routing and image discipline out of the box.

  • Tailwind CSS

    Design systems at speed — one token language from prototype to production.

    Battle.netBuddy

MOBILE LINE

  • Flutter

    One codebase, native-feel apps on Android and iOS.

    ClassiFy mobile

  • Dart

    The language under every Flutter screen I ship.

    ClassiFy mobile

SERVICE LINE

  • Fastify

    Lean, schema-driven APIs — validation at the edge of every route.

    MRTB

  • Prisma

    Typed data access — models and migrations that survive change.

    MRTB

  • REST APIs

    Resource-first contracts other teams can build against.

    MRTBClassiFy

  • Auth · JWT

    Sessions done properly — role-based access down to the row.

    MRTB

AI LINE

  • LLM Integration

    Models wired into real workflows — grading, conversation, extraction.

    ExamFlow AIBuddy

  • Prompt Engineering

    Prompts treated like code: versioned, tested, measured.

    ExamFlow AI

  • Document Processing

    Pipelines that turn documents into structured, usable data.

THE DEPOT

  • Linux

    Where my automations live — systemd timers over cloud hype.

    GleamBot

  • Git

    Every project, trunk-based, reviewable history.

  • Docker

    Consistent environments from my machine to theirs.

  • Python

    Services and scripts where Python is the honest choice.

    ExamFlow AI

  • Vercel

    Where this site and my clients' builds ship.

  • CI/CD

    Push to deploy — tests and checks run before I sleep.

Sharing what I learn.

I teach because explaining something is the best way to understand it deeply.

  • SIWES Workshop

    Annual Supervised Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) training workshop for students. Most recently held 2026.

  • AI Web Development Class

    Ongoing class teaching web development with AI-assisted tooling.

  • Class Representative

    Organizing tutorials, events, and liaising with lecturers for the student cohort.

Weekend builds & fun tools.

Beyond client and enterprise systems, I tinker on side quests for the sheer joy of coding, automating annoyances, and playing with new tools.

GleamBot — Daily Automation previewAutomation Bot

GleamBot — Daily Automation

Headless Browser · Systemd User Timer · Linux

Built to automate repetitive daily giveaway entries on Gleam.io so daily check-ins are never missed. Uses a dedicated Chromium profile via Playwright, runs idempotently on a systemd user timer, and exits safely if human verification is required.

Runs silently via a local Linux systemd timer every morning.

Buddy

AI Emotional Wellness · Conversational UX

An AI emotional wellness companion and mood check-in app. Designed to make self-reflection approachable through empathetic conversation, gentle routines, and a warm, design-forward interface instead of sterile medical forms.

Collaborative design exploration focused on gentle, non-clinical mental health interactions.

Frequently asked questions.

Asked at the ticket office, answered directly. Anything else — the form below reaches me fastest.

I build enterprise systems (approval workflows, RBAC, document management), AI-powered tools (LLM integration, document processing, WhatsApp chatbots), and full-stack web and mobile applications. I also run technical workshops and classes. Everything on this page shipped for a real organization.

My pricing follows the local market: a simple landing page starts around ₦150,000 ($180), a professional business website with 5–10 pages typically runs ₦400,000–₦1,200,000, and custom web applications range up to ₦15,000,000 ($18,000) depending on scope. WhatsApp chatbots start around ₦200,000. Tell me what you need and I'll quote it straight.

A standard business website takes 2–4 weeks. Larger builds — e-commerce, custom platforms, enterprise systems — usually need 6–12 weeks. The biggest factors are content readiness and feedback speed; I'll give you a real timeline before we start.

Yes. I build cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter (and React where it fits). ClassiFy, my attendance and classroom management system, runs on both web and mobile from a Node.js + PostgreSQL backend.

Where it's wired into real work, it helps: a WhatsApp chatbot can handle the majority of routine customer inquiries (most of your customers already use WhatsApp), and document-processing pipelines remove manual data entry. I use AI where it measurably helps — and I'll tell you honestly when a plain CRUD system is the better answer.
