Summary
Cletus Razakou is a pragmatic founder and full-stack engineer with nine years of experience building scalable products across finance, health, e-commerce, real estate, and insurance. He combines hands-on expertise in React, Vue, Angular, Node, Python and Go with cloud, container and CI/CD practice to ship production-grade systems and design systems for consistent UX. As an early engineering hire and frontend lead at multiple AI and automation startups, he’s bridged product strategy and execution, delivering AI-powered competitor analysis and back-office automation tools. He mentors and scales teams—having managed engineering orgs and led hiring, processes and test automation—while still preferring to prototype wildly in JavaScript and Python. Based in Charlotte, he now co-founds startups focused on AI workforce and helps founders build top-tier software through his consultancy. Notably, he pairs startup operator experience with deep platform-level skills (serverless, GraphQL, Docker/K8s) to move ideas from prototype to resilient production.
