Richard Oyelowo

Backend engineer building async APIs, auth systems, and production backend tools.

Python · FastAPI · Flask · PostgreSQL · SQLAlchemy · Docker · CI/CD

Engineering Focus

I build backend systems with clear service boundaries, integration tests, and explicit data access rules.

Current focus:

  • Multi-tenant API design with organization, team, project, and task boundaries
  • Authentication and authorization systems with JWT, OAuth2, bcrypt, and RBAC
  • Async Python services with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, and pytest
  • Developer tools that help engineers understand and improve codebases
  • Expanding deeper into TypeScript, Go, and Rust

Featured Projects

Project What it is Stack
gatevault Framework-agnostic Python auth library for JWT, bcrypt, OAuth2 login flow, and route protection Python, JWT, bcrypt, OAuth2
Snip FastAPI URL shortener with click tracking, admin tools, Docker, and PostgreSQL FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Docker
clustra Multi-tenant task management API with RBAC and strict organization/team/project isolation FastAPI, PostgreSQL, async SQLAlchemy, Alembic
chatforge.nvim Neovim plugin for interactive AI coding conversations inside the editor Lua, Neovim
Business-Dashboard Customer and order management system with role-based data access and email password reset Flask, SQLAlchemy, SQLite/PostgreSQL

Open Source Package

PyPI Python CI

pip install richard-gatevault
from gatevault import TokenManager, GateVault

token_manager = TokenManager(secret_key="change-me")
gate = GateVault(token_manager=token_manager)
tokens = token_manager.create_tokens({"user_id": user.id})

@gate.protected
def get_profile(payload=None):
    return db.get_user(payload["user_id"])

Current Build

I am designing RepoLens, a local-first codebase intelligence tool.

Goal:

Map, score, and explain any repository so developers and AI agents can work safely inside it.

Planned scope:

  • Repo health scoring
  • Codebase maps
  • Architecture checks
  • Test and CI discovery
  • Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust adapters
  • Agent readiness checks
