Product-minded engineer with an AI obsession.

Senior Fullstack & AI Engineer with 7+ years building modern, high-performance web interfaces and AI-powered products end to end — from the interface down to the database. Deep expertise in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and scalable component architecture. I specialize in LLM API integration, orchestration, and developer-facing platforms — and I've founded two AI products targeting the African and Francophone West African markets.
