In the world of modern software engineering, the title “Frontend Developer” often feels insufficient to describe the complexity of the role. For Ayodeji Moses Odukoya, the browser is not just a rendering target; it is a distributed computing environment that requires rigorous architecture.

From digital marketing and optimising engagement algorithms to creating cloud-native solutions for millions of users, Ayodeji built a career on the cutting edge of the JavaScript ecosystem. We sat down with him to discuss his technical journey: his “quality-first” philosophy using Playwright and why he believes the best frontend architectures are designed keeping in mind the backend.

Ayodeji: That was foundational. I did not write a line of production code before; I was obsessed with what makes a user stop scrolling. In 2017, the algorithms were different, but the core challenge was the same: connection. I remember managing a social strategy in which we were pulling more than 1,000 organic likes on posts when there was a follower base of under 5,000. That’s a 20% engagement rate, metrics that are almost unheard of today with no paid spend.

That experience, coupled with my Google Digital Skills certification, gave me a lens which most other people, including most engineers, don’t have. Today, when I look at any UI component, I don’t see a React prop; I see an interaction point. I know what is required to bring the user to that button, so that’s why I am so obsessed with making sure the technology will not fail them when they get there.

Ayodeji: It is a direct translation of intent. In 2016, I was optimising for “Likes” and “Shares” using psychological triggers. Today, I optimise for Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and First Input Delay (FID).

My marketing background taught me that users are notoriously impatient. If a page takes 3 seconds to hydrate, you’ve lost the conversion. When I architect a frontend now, I utilise Next.js here, thus allowing rendering either by Server-Side Rendering or Static Site Generation. I am not just looking at code cleanliness; I’m looking into the critical rendering path. Utilising tools like Google Analytics data in the context of GA4 and Lighthouse to audit our performance budgets, correlating technical metrics like Time to Interactive (TTI) directly with the retention rates I used to chase as a marketer

  • Q: You went from marketing into software via Ruby on Rails to frontend. How does knowledge of the backend (MVC patterns, DB schema) make you a better frontend developer?

Ayodeji: Learning Ruby on Rails initially gave me a structural discipline that, most of the time, is usually overlooked by many purely frontend developers. In Rails, you live and die by the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern.

Knowing the concepts of database normalisation and ORMs helps me handle the frontend by managing it in another way. Whenever I implement Redux Toolkit or the Context API, I am effectively designing a client-side database. I design the stores to be normalised, avoiding deep object nesting and data duplication, just like one would do in any regular SQL schema. This architectural rigour disallows the “prop-drilling” anti-pattern and saves us from forcing huge component trees to re-render just to update a single Boolean flag.

Ayodeji: Scaling to a million users exposes every inefficiency in your bundle. In other words, volume can easily murder the main thread with O(n) operations in the render cycle. We had to be ruthless in performance optimisation. I led a migration toward component-driven development using StorybookJS. It allowed us to build, profile, and stress-test components in isolation before they ever touched the main application DOM.

We also used memoisation with useMemo and useCallback to keep referential equality and prevent unnecessary re-renders. We also added aggressive code-splitting and lazy loading at the route level, so our initial bundle size is minimal. The spotlight of “reusable, performant UI components” was the main driving force in increasing the user satisfaction metrics by 50%.

Ayodeji: Social commerce is architecturally demanding since it causes an “over-fetching” vs. “under-fetching” dilemma. You have a feed that appears like social media, but each item is a transaction waiting to happen.

With a traditional REST API, rendering a user’s feed with products, seller profiles, and inventory status would require multiple round trips or a massive, slow payload, the classic N+1 problem. Using GraphQL/Apollo Client, we defined a strict schema that allows the client to ask for that graph of data with a single request.

Moreover, Apollo’s normalised cache allowed us to implement Optimistic UI. Whenever a user “Likes” something, we instantly update the cache so that the UI will show the change instantly, while the mutation resolves in the background. That perceived performance is crucial to the boost in engagement that we were able to attain.

Ayodeji: Those days of “it works on my machine” are gone. I containerise our frontend applications, ensuring development environments are isomorphic in production. When deploying to AWS through Kubernetes, having a Dockerised frontend allows us to scale up events gracefully. In case of increased traffic, the orchestrator fires up additional instantly restarted frontend pods.

Understanding the infrastructure means that I will be able to design my frontend build process. It will ensure that this build process, using Webpack, is optimised for these containerised environments, ensuring smaller image layers and faster boot times.

Ayodeji: Accessibility is an engineering discipline, not a design requirement. I treat WCAG Standards like any other syntax error. Technically, we enforce this through static analysis and automation. First, we utilise ESLint plugins like jsx-a11y to perform basic error linting – missing aria-labels or bad contrast during the coding phase. We then use Playwright for running automated accessibility audits (injection of the axe-core engine) of our build pipeline, ensuring we are semantically correct, using proper HTML5 landmarks and ARIA states before the code ever reaches production. It is a central part of the “rigorous testing strategy” I set up at Reusers.

Ayodeji: I just finished a course on product management because the future, to me, belongs to engineers who know about the business case. I am not just aiming to be a “coder”; I want to be a product architect. Be it setting up CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, whether it’s Actions and AWS or optimising SEO, I find myself asking, “How does this solve the user’s problem?” The objective is still the same: to develop digital experiences that are robust, more available, and more pleasant. The technology is changing, but the mission of serving the user stays the same.

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Turn lengthy earnings call transcripts into one-page insights using the Financial Modeling Prep APIPhoto by Bich Tran Earnings calls are packed with insights. They tell you how a company performed, what management expects in the future, and what analysts are worried about. The challenge is that these transcripts often stretch across dozens of pages, making it tough to separate the key takeaways from the noise. With the right tools, you don’t need to spend hours reading every line. By combining the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API with Groq’s lightning-fast LLMs, you can transform any earnings call into a concise summary in seconds. The FMP API provides reliable access to complete transcripts, while Groq handles the heavy lifting of distilling them into clear, actionable highlights. In this article, we’ll build a Python workflow that brings these two together. You’ll see how to fetch transcripts for any stock, prepare the text, and instantly generate a one-page summary. Whether you’re tracking Apple, NVIDIA, or your favorite growth stock, the process works the same — fast, accurate, and ready whenever you are. Fetching Earnings Transcripts with FMP API The first step is to pull the raw transcript data. FMP makes this simple with dedicated endpoints for earnings calls. If you want the latest transcripts across the market, you can use the stable endpoint /stable/earning-call-transcript-latest. For a specific stock, the v3 endpoint lets you request transcripts by symbol, quarter, and year using the pattern: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={q}&year={y}&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY here’s how you can fetch NVIDIA’s transcript for a given quarter: import requestsAPI_KEY = "your_api_key"symbol = "NVDA"quarter = 2year = 2024url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={API_KEY}"response = requests.get(url)data = response.json()# Inspect the keysprint(data.keys())# Access transcript contentif "content" in data[0]: transcript_text = data[0]["content"] print(transcript_text[:500]) # preview first 500 characters The response typically includes details like the company symbol, quarter, year, and the full transcript text. If you aren’t sure which quarter to query, the “latest transcripts” endpoint is the quickest way to always stay up to date. Cleaning and Preparing Transcript Data Raw transcripts from the API often include long paragraphs, speaker tags, and formatting artifacts. Before sending them to an LLM, it helps to organize the text into a cleaner structure. Most transcripts follow a pattern: prepared remarks from executives first, followed by a Q&A session with analysts. Separating these sections gives better control when prompting the model. In Python, you can parse the transcript and strip out unnecessary characters. A simple way is to split by markers such as “Operator” or “Question-and-Answer.” Once separated, you can create two blocks — Prepared Remarks and Q&A — that will later be summarized independently. This ensures the model handles each section within context and avoids missing important details. Here’s a small example of how you might start preparing the data: import re# Example: using the transcript_text we fetched earliertext = transcript_text# Remove extra spaces and line breaksclean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()# Split sections (this is a heuristic; real-world transcripts vary slightly)if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1)else: prepared, qna = clean_text, ""print("Prepared Remarks Preview:\n", prepared[:500])print("\nQ&A Preview:\n", qna[:500]) With the transcript cleaned and divided, you’re ready to feed it into Groq’s LLM. Chunking may be necessary if the text is very long. A good approach is to break it into segments of a few thousand tokens, summarize each part, and then merge the summaries in a final pass. Summarizing with Groq LLM Now that the transcript is clean and split into Prepared Remarks and Q&A, we’ll use Groq to generate a crisp one-pager. The idea is simple: summarize each section separately (for focus and accuracy), then synthesize a final brief. Prompt design (concise and factual) Use a short, repeatable template that pushes for neutral, investor-ready language: You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call sectionfor {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise.Return:1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets)2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened)3) Forward outlook (specific statements)4) Risks / watch-outs5) Q&A takeaways (if present)Text:<<<{section_text}>>> Python: calling Groq and getting a clean summary Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Set your GROQ_API_KEY and pick a fast, high-quality model (e.g., a Llama-3.1 70B variant). We’ll write a helper to summarize any text block, then run it for both sections and merge. import osimport textwrapimport requestsGROQ_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY") or "your_groq_api_key"GROQ_BASE_URL = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" # OpenAI-compatibleMODEL = "llama-3.1-70b" # choose your preferred Groq modeldef call_groq(prompt, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=1200): url = f"{GROQ_BASE_URL}/chat/completions" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {GROQ_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } payload = { "model": MODEL, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise, neutral equity research analyst."}, {"role": "user", "content": prompt}, ], "temperature": temperature, "max_tokens": max_tokens, } r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=60) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"].strip()def build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year): template = """ You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call section for {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise. Return: 1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets) 2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened) 3) Forward outlook (specific statements) 4) Risks / watch-outs 5) Q&A takeaways (if present) Text: <<< {section_text} >>> """ return textwrap.dedent(template).format( symbol=symbol, quarter=quarter, year=year, section_text=section_text )def summarize_section(section_text, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024"): if not section_text or section_text.strip() == "": return "(No content found for this section.)" prompt = build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year) return call_groq(prompt)# Example usage with the cleaned splits from Section 3prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")final_one_pager = f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks — Key Points{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()print(final_one_pager[:1200]) # preview Tips that keep quality high: Keep temperature low (≈0.2) for factual tone. If a section is extremely long, chunk at ~5–8k tokens, summarize each chunk with the same prompt, then ask the model to merge chunk summaries into one section summary before producing the final one-pager. If you also fetched headline numbers (EPS/revenue, guidance) earlier, prepend them to the prompt as brief context to help the model anchor on the right outcomes. Building the End-to-End Pipeline At this point, we have all the building blocks: the FMP API to fetch transcripts, a cleaning step to structure the data, and Groq LLM to generate concise summaries. The final step is to connect everything into a single workflow that can take any ticker and return a one-page earnings call summary. The flow looks like this: Input a stock ticker (for example, NVDA). Use FMP to fetch the latest transcript. Clean and split the text into Prepared Remarks and Q&A. Send each section to Groq for summarization. Merge the outputs into a neatly formatted earnings one-pager. Here’s how it comes together in Python: def summarize_earnings_call(symbol, quarter, year, api_key, groq_key): # Step 1: Fetch transcript from FMP url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={api_key}" resp = requests.get(url) resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if not data or "content" not in data[0]: return f"No transcript found for {symbol} {quarter} {year}" text = data[0]["content"] # Step 2: Clean and split clean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip() if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1) else: prepared, qna = clean_text, "" # Step 3: Summarize with Groq prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol, quarter, year) qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol, quarter, year) # Step 4: Merge into final one-pager return f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()# Example runprint(summarize_earnings_call("NVDA", 2, 2024, API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY)) With this setup, generating a summary becomes as simple as calling one function with a ticker and date. You can run it inside a notebook, integrate it into a research workflow, or even schedule it to trigger after each new earnings release. Free Stock Market API and Financial Statements API... Conclusion Earnings calls no longer need to feel overwhelming. With the Financial Modeling Prep API, you can instantly access any company’s transcript, and with Groq LLM, you can turn that raw text into a sharp, actionable summary in seconds. This pipeline saves hours of reading and ensures you never miss the key results, guidance, or risks hidden in lengthy remarks. Whether you track tech giants like NVIDIA or smaller growth stocks, the process is the same — fast, reliable, and powered by the flexibility of FMP’s data.
