About Me

Developer, Project Manager, and civic tech advocate based in Dakar, Senegal.

Background

I'm a Full-Stack Developer and Project Manager with a strong engineering background, building secure, scalable, and high-impact web applications across Africa since 2019. I specialize in backend architecture, API design, data security, and modern frontend technologies — while also leading projects end-to-end as a PM.

My work sits at the intersection of technology and social impact. I've built and deployed civic tech platforms used by 1,000+ users across 10+ African countries, including systems for e-learning, citizen engagement, GBV victim support, and digital rights advocacy.
