Skills
What I know well
- Web
- Interfaces in React and Vue, APIs with Laravel, NestJS, FastAPI, Django and Flask, in JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP and Python.
- Data
- PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB, and the data modelling that goes with them.
- Mobile
- Flutter, and React Native with Expo.
- Systems
- C and C++ on Unix, sockets, network protocols, data structures and algorithms.
- Shipping

What I am learning now
Applied machine learning. In Kori, a scikit-learn model (TF-IDF and logistic regression) categorises transactions automatically. I am also going deeper into algorithmic optimisation and data engineering.
Where I am heading
Towards artificial intelligence and high-performance architectures. I want to design intelligent systems on top of what I already do well: algorithms and systems programming.
Beyond code
I was vice-president of the Cobra association and a regional Epitech assistant at Epitech Benin. I mentored students, ran workshops and organised tech events.
