I design the architecture, rack the gear, cable it, then ship code through it: CI/CD pipelines, switches, routers, firewalls and servers. Two hackathon podiums in 2026. Watch this site get built and deployed below.

I like systems that deploy themselves, networks that are documented, and failures caught before users notice.
I trained at Epitech Benin by shipping projects end to end, from C and C++ to web apps, Kubernetes clusters and network labs. I worked on real infrastructure on Ghana's national power grid, then built web platforms in a consulting firm in Benin.
I'm now in the Programme Grande École at EPITECH Paris and looking for a part-time role in IT support, systems and networks, or DevOps alongside my studies.

2nd place, awarded “Ministre du Smart Energy”
PowerLens is a smart energy management platform for public buildings and homes. It combines a digital twin, real-time consumption monitoring, automated energy rules and billing based on actual use, to cut energy waste.
Built with a joint team of Epitech Afrique and EPAC-UAC students across software, IoT and embedded systems.
1,000,000 FCFA prize · now in incubation
ALODO helps micro, small and medium businesses record and structure their activity, even with poor connectivity. Cleaner financial records open the door to financial services. It runs on a dedicated hardware device, the web and mobile.
Post-hackathon incubation for large-scale deployment.
Designed and built a robotic arm, reaching the final of the competition.
An automated DevOps platform. Push to a Git repository and the app is containerized, built and deployed to a Kubernetes cluster, through Jenkins pipelines, Docker image generation and Ansible provisioning.
A multi-service cloud-native application deployed on Kubernetes, with Traefik load balancing, Redis messaging, PostgreSQL persistent storage and container monitoring.
A service automation platform with an API-first architecture in NestJS and TypeScript, a Next.js interface and Supabase for authentication, PostgreSQL and real time.
A containerized time-tracking web app with Docker Compose: Vue.js frontend, Elixir/Phoenix backend and PostgreSQL.
A C++ arcade engine that loads games (Snake, Nibbler) and graphics backends (ncurses, SDL2) at runtime. Games and renderers swap without recompiling.
Automated reachability checks for network gear: reads router inventories from CSV files and pings each device on a schedule.
A Unix shell in C in the spirit of bash and tcsh: command parsing, pipes, redirections and process execution.
An auction platform in the style of eBay: listings, bidding, comments and watchlists. Harvard CS50 Web Programming.
A Wikipedia-style encyclopedia with editable pages, search, revision history and article navigation.
A single-page email client that sends and receives over a REST API, with inbox, sent and archive views.
