Message

At Douala Urban Community, I’ve represented the contracting authority across studies, tender documents, contract administration, site supervision and works acceptance. From 2018 to 2023, I managed stormwater drainage and hydraulic structure projects in Douala through the full project cycle.

My geotechnical work includes stability calculations and monitoring-data interpretation for the Tine Dam in Tunisia, as well as foundation, retaining-wall and road design. I also directed technical studies for industrial infrastructure in the Kribi port zone and sized a 35 m³ water tower in 2025.
