Uche Mukolo
Product Engineer | Full-Stack Engineer | Technical Product Manager
Greater London / Reading, UK
Professional Summary
Product Engineer with 6+ years writing production code and 2+ years owning product roadmaps, operating fluently on both sides of the build-versus-define divide. I have shipped full-stack applications at scale (Coursera, 200M+ users; Bantu Blockchain, 87K users, $23M+ transactions) and separately owned end-to-end product delivery across fintech, healthtech, and AI platforms. Currently building NeuroCare AI as both lead engineer and product owner, a behavioural intelligence platform for UK care homes. I prototype and deliver fast using AI-assisted development tools including GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Kiro, Lovable, and V0, compressing what used to take a sprint into a day.
