Complex Systems & AI Product Design — Tomiwa Ogunmodede

What I bring to complex systems roles

Designing AI and data products that turn predictions, diagnostics, and system signals into clear next actions.

At Neustack Studio, I shipped the initial product suite and brand system for an AI-native agency. I design tools and workflows that integrate AI assistance into professional operations — and I understand both the capability and the reliability risks.

Design infrastructure and systems at scale

I built and maintain the Kolibri Design System — 100+ components, 1:1 developer parity, reducing handoff time by ~60%. I understand the organisational dynamics of design systems work, not just the component taxonomy.

Strong product judgment in messy systems where the interface is only one layer of the operational problem.

The Lion Hospitality Platform spans POS, KDS, WIMS, CRM, and a staff interface — each with different users, different workflows, and shared data surfaces. I led product and technology across the full ecosystem. I know what it means to design for operations where a mistake costs money in real time.

Experience with low-connectivity, multilingual, and resource-constrained learning environments through Kolibri.

My work on Kolibri — a learning platform deployed across 200+ countries in low-bandwidth and offline contexts — required rethinking every interaction from a constraint-first perspective. I am comfortable designing for systems where the network, the device, and the user's context are all unreliable.

Dashboard, reporting, workflow, and design-system work across teacher tools, learner tools, enterprise video creation, and hospitality operations.

Working on a suite of edtech products within a complex, interconnected ecosystem - Kolibri Learning Platform, Studio, Data Platform and more.

Lion Hospitality Partners2025 — 2026Hospitality / Operations

Product and technology strategy for a custom hospitality operating stack spanning POS, kitchen display, CRM, WIMS, and multi-venue management across Lion Hospitality Partners.

I am most useful in product environments where the hard problem is not the interface — it is the system behind it. Open to conversation about infrastructure-heavy product design, internal tooling, and AI-adjacent roles.
