02 A LITTLE ABOUT ME

More than
a job title.

Roots in Cameroon. Home in Germany.

I’m a developer by craft.
An explorer by nature.
A family person, always.

Based in Cologne, with roots in Cameroon, I build web platforms and APIs with PHP, Laravel, Python, and FastAPI, and web interfaces with TypeScript, React, and Next.js. For mobile apps, I use React Native and Expo. My work spans language learning, careers, event check-in, and everyday productivity.

I care about the way things work and the people they work for. That’s what draws me to software: the chance to take something complex and make it feel simple. Explore my projects

The world keeps me curious.

41 countries. 6 continents. Each new place brings a different perspective and a reminder to keep exploring.

My favourite place is with family.

Beyond the screens and passport stamps, it’s the everyday moments with my family that mean the most.
