I'm a Full Stack Developer and technology educator based in Lomé, Togo. With over 5 years of experience, I've designed impactful digital solutions in fields like accounting, e-learning, and community development—reaching thousands of users. I'm passionate about using technology to empower others. I mentor young developers and teach software engineering at Lome Business School. For me, code is not just technical—it's a tool to drive real change and solve meaningful problems. I believe innovation is most powerful when it's inclusive and rooted in local realities. My mission is to use technology to create access, foster learning, and support sustainable progress in Africa

I’m passionate about two things: music and problem-solving. One speaks to the soul, the other to the mind. As a developer in Africa, I’ve learned that building a great digital solution feels like writing a powerful melody, it starts with listening, builds through creativity, and ends in harmony. Whether I’m writing code or producing sound, my goal is the same: to create impact that resonates. I believe that when we combine logic and emotion, technology and creativity, we can build tools that truly move people. In Africa, this fusion can be a revolution. My idea worth spreading is this: Africa’s progress lies not only in solving problems, but in solving them beautifully.

Technology, when shaped by local minds, can unlock Africa’s full potential. I believe that Africa doesn't need imported solutions, it needs homegrown innovation. As a developer and tech educator in Togo, I’ve seen how simple, well-crafted tools can transform communities: helping small businesses manage their finances, enabling thousands to access online education, or making public services more efficient. Technology in Africa shouldn’t just copy global trends, it should solve local problems, reflect local cultures, and empower local people. My idea worth spreading is this: Technology built in Africa, for Africa, by Africans, is the key to sustainable progress.

It all started with a single post from a friend in Lome, someone already involved with TEDxLome. I reached out, asking how I could help as a volunteer. I stayed consistent, showed up, and proved I could be trusted. One step at a time, I went from a curious outsider to a core member of the leadership team. Sometimes, showing up is how change begins.

I’m good at acting. And surprisingly, that skill has made me a better developer, educator, and leader. Acting taught me how to listen, how to feel a moment, how to connect with others, and isn’t that what real problem-solving is? In Africa, we often focus on building tools. But I believe we should also build trust, tell stories, and move people.
