"The best way to predict the future is to build it." https://portfolio-five-tawny-62.vercel.app
I'm a senior full-stack developer and technical architect based in Cameroon. I've been building production systems for years — platforms that handle real money, real users, and real infrastructure constraints in African markets.
But I'm not just a developer. I think like a founder. Every system I build is designed to scale, to generate value, and to outlast the sprint it was born in. I study how Zuckerberg turned a dorm project into a global platform. How Jobs turned taste into a trillion-dollar company. How Bezos turned logistics into leverage. I'm building toward that — starting from Cameroon, building for the world.
Status: Live · Notion MCP Challenge Submission
The timezone gap is a real productivity tax for African freelancers working with US/EU clients. NightShift solves it — connecting to Notion, tracking client availability, generating AI drafts with memory, and auto-sending emails when clients are at their desks.
Built with Next.js 15, Notion MCP, Supabase Realtime, multi-provider AI (Gemini → Claude → Groq), and Nodemailer. Full MCP server exposing 3 tools to Claude Desktop.

Embed multiplayer games into any app in minutes. You bring the users — Beta Gamer handles game logic, real-time matchmaking, and infrastructure. Think Twilio for gaming.
The vision: a platform layer that lets any developer add social gaming to their product without building the hard parts from scratch.

A platform preserving and promoting Cameroonian cultural heritage through digital experiences. Proof that tech and culture aren't opposites — they amplify each other.
Next.js Cultural Tech Community
Status: In Design
A structured learning platform for African developers — bilingual (English/French), built around real market constraints, and designed to keep developers in the game past the first year. Curriculum design, mentorship infrastructure, and community built in.
The problem: too many African developers have the talent but not the roadmap. DevPath fixes that.

Status: Research Phase
A unified payment abstraction layer for African markets — one API, all major payment providers (MTN MoMo, Orange Money, Flutterwave, Stripe, etc.). Developers shouldn't have to integrate 6 different SDKs to accept money across the continent.

Real integrations. Real money. Real African markets.
Zuckerberg started with a college directory. Jobs started with a garage. Bezos started with books.
I'm starting with Africa's real problems — timezone gaps, fragmented payment systems, developers who quit too early, cultural heritage going undigitized. These aren't small problems. They're billion-person problems.
The path from developer to founder isn't a career change. It's a mindset that was always there. I build systems. I think in scale. I ship.
