About Thomas Osayi

I\'m a full-stack software engineer and CS student at LMU who builds products people actually use.Whether it\'s a SaaS platform helping brands manage creators, a mobile food discovery app, or a restaurant\'s entire ordering system, I ship real products, fast.What I build with:→ React Native, TypeScript, Next.js 16, React 19→ Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Storage)→ Stripe (Checkout Sessions, Payment Intents, Elements, Webhooks)→ Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, Resend, Meta Marketing APIWhat I\'ve shipped recently:→ UGC Creator management platform for a multi-million dollar streetwear brand — 31 pages, 63 API routes, Meta Ads revenue attribution. 10+ creators onboarded, 5 figures generated in 3 weeks.→ 40+ screen mobile app (React Native) — demoed live to hundreds at LMU\'s Incubator Showcase.→ Full restaurant web app replacing Uber Eats/DoorDash — online ordering with dual Stripe payments, reservation system with interactive floor plan, analytics dashboard. Built solo in 4 weeks.→ B2B commercial printing site + staff dashboard with quote pipeline, client directory, portfolio manager, and a CMS that lets non-technical staff update any image on the live site. Shipped in 3 weeks.I think about software as a business tool, not just code. Every project I take on starts with the same question: what process can be optimized, automated, or replaced entirely?Currently exploring Summer 2026 SWE and product internships. I\'m drawn to teams building consumer, creator-economy, or commerce products where I can contribute from day one.Let\'s connect. I\'m always happy to talk shop about React Native, Next.js, Firebase, or building products that ship.
