Software Engineering Intern at Synapsys Conseils SA building biometric enrolment and secure-card systems.
What I'm looking for
At Synapsys Conseils SA, I build backend and mobile modules for a national biometric enrolment and secure-card programme commissioned by Senegal’s Ministry of Mines and Geology. I integrate fingerprint hardware and biometric SDKs, handling device communication, biometric templates, and privacy-compliant data storage.
I also deliver identity-verification components for electoral systems, securing data flows between field devices and backend services. I work on application modules end to end, from domain modelling through implementation and review.
At Allo Pro, I shipped a Flutter marketplace connecting clients with local service providers, with live geolocation and Google Maps visualisation. I designed its Firebase backend for authentication, profiles, cloud storage, and per-user data access rules.
For my 2026 thesis, I designed and built a seven-module smart-card platform, including four Java Card applets and a card lifecycle pipeline. I enforced GlobalPlatform secure channels and implemented on-card key generation so private keys stay within the secure element.
