Isaiah Adekanye

Hey, I'm Isaiah. I'm a software & product engineer, who also enjoys building products of my own.

I've worked at startups and larger companies, including Unilever and Angi (FKA Angie's List). I've also consulted for brands launching consumer products, leading teams of 3-5 developers to build and maintain them.

Across roles, I work end to end: frontend, backend, DevOps, data systems, and AI integrations.

I'm interested in SaaS, marketplaces, AI tools, and personal finance products that help people, and I'm open to other domains where I can build end to end.

Outside work

I build Legos, especially the big sets. I really enjoy the process of seeing it all come together.

I'm a bit of an old soul, and antiques in general catch my attention, especially typewriters, vinyl records, currencies and coins.

You'll also find me at the AGO, MOCA, ROM and other art galleries around Toronto. I like supporting independent artists, especially abstract figurative art.

I also enjoy fitness and I'm always interested in trying new sports and activities. Right now I'm playing pickleball.
