Unveiling my software engineering journey

Senior full-stack engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, building and deploying web and mobile products for fintech, the public sector, SaaS and UK recruitment agencies. I work across the whole stack, from Java, Python and NestJS backends to Angular, React and Nuxt front ends, Flutter and React Native apps, and the Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines that run them.

I enjoy owning a product end to end: scoping with the client, technical design, leading developers, shipping and handling production. Based in Dakar, Senegal.
