What I'm looking for

I'm looking to architect and scale secure AI, Web3, SaaS, and public digital infrastructure, particularly systems that improve localized accessibility through low-bandwidth and offline-first experiences.

I founded KwadRise Labs, where I lead technical initiatives for high-performance applications, specialized SaaS architectures, and real-time ledger protocols including Voyep.

I was invited by UNICEF and Cameroon’s Ministry of Basic Education to Upstation-Bamenda as Lead Technical Specialist, architecting digital education infrastructure for vulnerable children. Working with National Quality Inspectors and Regional Delegates, I directed the technical engineering and editing framework for English, Science, Technology, and Mathematics content.

I’ve built across the NEAR ecosystem at PotLock, GenaDrop, and Build DAO. My work includes the Near Awards dApp, GenaDrop Gateway, Creatives DAO and CPlanet Gateways, NFT gifting on ProofOfVibes, and multichain NFT embedding in the GenaDrop feed.

I build secure, production-grade systems across Generative AI, Web3, and low-bandwidth or offline-first digital infrastructure. My toolkit spans Rust, Solidity, TypeScript, Python, React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Firebase, GCP, LLM integrations, and RAG systems.
