ASSO+
Lead Full-Stack Developer
- Duration
- 5 months
- Architecture
- Microservices
- Status
- Production
Associations, community groups and tontines often manage contributions, meetings, sanctions, savings and member records manually. I designed and developed ASSO+, a public SaaS platform that lets any organization sign up and securely manage its financial and administrative activities — from a mobile app for members and an administration dashboard for organizers.
Stack — Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, Docker, Flutter, Next.js, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry
FarotyPay
Backend Developer & Software Architect
- Duration
- 2 months
- Architecture
- Microservices
- Status
- Production
Businesses often need to integrate several payment providers separately, which increases complexity and maintenance costs. I contributed to the development of a secure payment gateway that centralizes payment processing through a unified API and supports integrations with mobile money and other payment services.

MoMo Ticket
Lead Backend Developer
- Duration
- 3 months
- Architecture
- Microservices
- Status
- Production
Designed and developed the backend of MoMo Ticket, a modern event ticketing platform for MTN Cameroon, using a microservices architecture. Built secure APIs for event management, online ticket sales, attendee management, organizer dashboards and payment integration, delivering a scalable platform capable of supporting high-volume events.

CIDP International Platform
Full-Stack Developer & Infrastructure Engineer
- Duration
- 2 months
- Architecture
- Full-stack
- Status
- Production
The Conseil International de Dialogue et de Partenariat needed a modern platform to present its activities, publish content, receive donations and manage its internal information. I developed the public website and a complete administration dashboard for managing blog posts, donations, team members and article visit statistics. I also configured a private email server so the organization can create and manage professional email accounts under its domain.

Cloud Infrastructure & CI/CD
DevOps & Backend Engineer
- Duration
- 1 month
- Architecture
- Containerized
- Status
- Production
Manual deployments and limited production visibility made application maintenance slower and riskier. I implemented a containerized deployment workflow with automated builds, versioned Docker images, centralized logs, monitoring, alerts and backup preparation.
Stack — Docker, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, Docker Hub, Linux, Nginx, Cloudflare, Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, AWS S3

Development philosophy
Software should stay understandable, secure and operable long after the first release. These principles guide how I design systems and lead technical work.
Clean architecture
Clear service boundaries, explicit API contracts and separation of concerns — so complexity stays manageable as products and teams grow.
Maintainability
Readable code, consistent patterns and thoughtful structure — making it easier for teams to onboard, iterate and own systems over time.
Scalability
Microservices, async processing and data models designed for real load — not theoretical scale, but production traffic on fintech and platform products.
Security
Authentication, authorization and data protection built in from the start — especially where payments, member data and financial records are involved.
Automation
CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments and observability — reducing manual risk and keeping production systems visible and recoverable.
