About

I'm a Cameroonian software engineer focused on backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and open source collaboration. I actively contribute to OpenMRS and OpenELIS Foundation, helping improve digital health platforms used around the world, and participated in Google Summer of Code 2025. My interests include Java and it's ecosystem, distributed systems, DevOps, Cloud Architecture & Engineering and Cloud Infrastructure. I believe open source is essential for building Africa's digital sovereignty, and I'm committed to contributing software, mentoring contributors, and supporting sustainable open source communities across the continent.
