## About

```text
At Acumen Digital, I architect and maintain a shared Flutter/Melos monorepo supporting 10+ production applications. I lead six engineers across the app lifecycle, from design through App Store and Google Play releases.

I bridge native Kotlin and Swift modules into reusable Flutter plugins, including Robin for chat, Scorewise for credit monitoring, and Karla for contactless payments. I also refactor legacy codebases with BLoC architecture and SOLID principles.

At UBA Paychap, I architected a multi-package Flutter monorepo for merchant and customer apps and built a native Android payment SDK. Its contactless transactions processed roughly XOF 10M during the first month.

Across my mobile work, I’ve delivered apps for iOS and Android, automated release pipelines, and worked on testing, performance, and app-store deployments. I also contributed to a Flutter tool for multilingual text rendering through Google Summer Of Code.
