About
Engineer, founder, builder.
I'm a Cameroonian engineer and entrepreneur based in Kigali. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University Africa with a master's in Engineering Artificial Intelligence — part of the Class of 2026, the milestone cohort that brought CMU-Africa's alumni total to 1,000.
My work sits at the intersection of applied AI, product engineering, and African innovation. I've built everything from a humanoid cooking robot to structured AI systems with safety-layer guardrails. I care about systems that actually work in the contexts they're deployed in — not just demos that look good in Pittsburgh.
I co-founded Bridge Labs (connecting African engineers with global clients), Traleor (a no-code CMS for African entrepreneurs), and run TechCultureAfrica — a media platform covering Africa's digital landscape read by thousands monthly.
When I'm not shipping software, I'm writing about AI and the African tech ecosystem, or mentoring the next generation of engineers across West and East Africa.
Selected work
