What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a transition into frontier AI research through hands-on work and mentorship.

At Citu, I contributed to an end-to-end real estate platform for tenants and property professionals in Cote d’Ivoire. I implemented role-based access control and multi-step onboarding, reducing onboarding friction by 40%.

At Major League Hacking Fellowship - Meta, I contributed to Lexical, Meta's open-source text editor framework. I authored merged pull requests covering architectural refactors, bug fixes, documentation, and tests.

I built Oda, an AI-native conversational marketplace for SME discovery on WhatsApp and Telegram. In controlled stress tests, it handled 11k+ concurrent users and 92k+ products across 11k vendors, with 99.9% system uptime.

For my BSc Computer Science final-year project, I designed and built zkDemocracy, a privacy-preserving e-voting system using ZK-SNARKs and the Semaphore protocol. I'm seeking hands-on work and mentorship as I transition into frontier AI research.
