Self-taught first. Then an engineer.

I started coding on my own in high school. After two years of physics and chemistry, I studied computer science at the École Supérieure Polytechnique in Dakar, and graduated as a computer science engineer in 2025. I build web and mobile apps, and for more than two years I have worked with ministries and public institutions.

Working for the state changes how you build. The site has to load on an old phone in a village, not only on fibre in the capital. It has to pass an audit. And the next team has to understand it.

I work on web, mobile and AI, and I take security seriously. I hold four certificates, including Google’s Cybersecurity certificate and Cisco’s Network Technician path, and I keep practising on TryHackMe and Hack The Box.

I also lead Ubbi, a project I started in 2026. The name means “open” in Wolof. It gives small shops a real online store that they can open in one evening. ubbi.shop

I also build things just to find out. Can an AI answer questions about a country using only its official statistics? Can a phone camera read sign language? Some of these became real products.
