RICHIE

RICHARD OWOLABI

> _

I'm figuring it out as I go — writing code, building bots, designing PCBs, modeling in CAD — and honestly, that's the part I enjoy most. Somewhere between developer and engineer, moving fast.

Who I Am

About Me

I'm Richie — I write code, design hardware, and build circuits. Not just one or the other. I work across software and hardware disciplines because the most interesting problems always sit right between the two.

On the software side I'm fluent in C++, Rust, Python, Lua and Java, and currently working through ROS and MATLAB as I push further into robotics. On the design side I work in Fusion 360, Blender, SolidWorks, Maya, TinkerCAD and OnShape for CAD and 3D work, and KiCad for PCB design — schematic capture to board layout.

Everything I do points toward a future in robotics engineering. The mix of code, mechanical design, electronics, and simulation isn't a random collection of skills — it's all part of the same picture.

Portfolio

🎮
C++LuaGame
Project Nexus
A 2D game engine I built in C++ mostly to understand how engines actually work under the hood. Lua scripting is hooked in so gameplay logic stays separate from the core.

🤖
PythonDiscordBot
Sentinel Bot
A Discord moderation bot I built for a server that was getting out of hand. Grew into a full utility bot with a plugin system so features can be dropped in without touching core code.

RustSystemsCLI
SwiftFS
A file utility CLI in Rust. Handles batch operations and directory analysis fast — the kind of thing where the language choice actually matters. Zero unnecessary overhead.

PythonAutomation
AutoFlow
Started as a personal script to stop doing the same thing 20 times a day. Turned into a proper automation framework with scheduling, scraping, and API support built in.

🌌
LuaGameRoblox
Galaxy Conquest
A multiplayer strategy game in Roblox. Factions, resource systems, real-time combat, procedurally generated maps. Probably the most complex thing I've scripted in Lua so far.

Fusion 360CAD3D Print
Robotic Arm Mount
A servo-driven robotic arm mounting system designed in Fusion 360. Fully parametric so dimensions can be adjusted without rebuilding. Print-ready with tolerances accounted for.

Blender3D ModelGame Asset
Sci-Fi Asset Pack
A collection of low-poly sci-fi props and environment pieces made in Blender. Clean topology, baked textures, under 5k tris each. Built to drop straight into a game engine.

KiCadPCBElectronics
Motor Controller Board
A compact dual-channel motor driver PCB designed in KiCad. Fits an L298N-based circuit into a tight footprint with proper trace widths, thermal relief, and screw terminals. Gerbers tested with JLCPCB.

What I Offer

Services

01
🎮
Game Development
Custom game systems, mechanics, and scripts. I've worked with Lua for Roblox and C++ for standalone engines. Whether you need a full gameplay loop or just one broken system fixed, I can handle it.
→ Price varies by scope
02
🤖
Bot Development
Discord and Telegram bots built properly — not hacked together. Command systems, moderation tools, utility features, custom integrations. Python or Java depending on what the project calls for.
→ Price varies by scope
03
⚙️
Scripting & Automation
If you're doing something manually that a script could do for you, that's a problem I can solve. Web scraping, file processing, scheduled tasks, API pipelines — tell me what's eating your time.
→ Price varies by scope
04
📐
CAD Design
Mechanical parts, product concepts, enclosures, mounts, assemblies — designed in Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or OnShape. Export-ready for 3D printing or manufacturing. I think in tolerances, not just aesthetics.
→ Price varies by scope
05
🧊
3D Modeling
Game-ready assets, product visualization, character models, environments. I work in Blender and Maya depending on the pipeline. Optimized geometry, clean topology, ready for your engine or render.
→ Price varies by scope
06
🔌
PCB Design
Custom PCB design in KiCad — from schematic to routed board layout. Small-run boards for prototypes, embedded projects, robotics, or whatever you're building. Gerber files ready for fabrication.
→ Price varies by scope
07
🔍
Code Review & Consulting
Sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes. I'll go through your codebase, flag what's actually wrong, and give you honest feedback on structure, performance, and where things could break.

Client Reviews

Richie built our Discord bot faster than I expected and threw in features I didn't even think to ask for. The code was clean, properly commented, and easy to modify after. Would hire again without hesitation.

He automated a workflow that was taking our team hours every week. Explained what he was doing as he went, which I really appreciated. The script has been running for months with zero issues.

Hired Richie to review and optimize our game's Lua scripts. He found performance issues I'd been ignoring for months and fixed them properly. The game runs night and day better now.

Common Questions

FAQ

What can you actually help me with?+
Code and design, basically. Software: game scripts, bots, automation, systems programming. Design: CAD for mechanical parts and products, 3D models for games or visualization, and PCB design in KiCad. If your project crosses any of those areas, even better.
Do you do CAD and 3D modeling as well as code?+
Yes — it's all part of the same workflow for me. CAD in Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or OnShape. 3D modeling in Blender or Maya. PCB design in KiCad, schematic to layout. I'm also currently learning ROS and MATLAB, so robotics-adjacent projects are something I'm actively interested in taking on.
How long does a project usually take?+
Depends on what it is. A simple bot or script is usually 1–3 days. A full game system or complex CAD assembly could be 1–3 weeks. I'll give you a real estimate before anything starts — no vague timelines.
Do you do revisions after you deliver?+
Yeah. Small changes that are within what we originally agreed on are included. If you want something significantly different from what was scoped, that's a conversation — but I'm not going to leave you stuck with something that doesn't work for you.
How do I get started working with you?+
Hit me up through the contact form, or just DM me on Discord — that's usually the fastest. Tell me what you need, and I'll get back to you quickly to figure out if it's a good fit and what it would take.
Will you keep my project confidential?+
By default, yes. If you need something more formal, I can sign an NDA — not an issue. I'd rather have that conversation upfront than have it become a problem later.
