What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote roles with African startups and fintech companies, as well as select opportunities in MENA and Europe.

At InsurSmart, I’m building a transparent-focused insurance platform for Cameroon that addresses broker fraud and premium opacity. The backend MVP is complete, with a React Native frontend now in active development.

I designed RESTful services for policy eligibility, dynamic pricing, and government tax calculations, with validation and eligibility rules shaped by regulatory requirements. The platform also supports policy quotation applications, premium breakdowns, and status tracking.

Across healthcare, civic tech, and education projects, I’ve developed appointment and electronic voting systems and contributed frontend work to a school management platform. I’m a Computer Science graduate from the University of Buea.
