From networks to code — heading toward data.

A deliberate three-phase trajectory: systems and network engineering as the foundation, full-stack software development as the core, and data science as the next horizon.

ATM Technical Operations / Technical Support

Kinshasa, DRC

Full-time2025 — Present

Hands-on technical operations on ATM infrastructure across multiple deployment sites — combining preventive maintenance, real-time incident response, and network diagnostics. This operational exposure reinforces a systems-first engineering mindset that directly shapes my software architecture decisions.

  • Preventive and corrective maintenance of ATM infrastructure across multiple sites
  • Network diagnostics and connectivity troubleshooting at the protocol level (TCP/IP, LAN)
  • Real-time incident response and system reliability monitoring
  • Hardware component-level diagnostics, repair coordination, and parts management
  • Vendor escalation management and SLA compliance tracking

Freelance

Full-Stack Software Engineer

Remote

Freelance2025 — Present

Designing and building full-stack platforms, REST APIs, and production-grade web applications for clients. Full ownership from requirements gathering to production deployment — architecture, development, containerization, and infrastructure.

  • Architected and built REST APIs with NestJS following clean architecture and modular design principles
  • Implemented JWT authentication with refresh token rotation, device session tracking, and RBAC
  • Containerized applications with Docker and deployed on Linux VPS with Nginx reverse proxy and PM2
  • Designed normalized relational database schemas with Prisma ORM targeting PostgreSQL and MySQL
  • Collaborated directly with clients to define technical specifications and manage delivery timelines

CINOLU

Software Engineer

Kinshasa, DRC

Full-time2023 — 2025

Built and maintained web applications and backend APIs in production. Worked across the full stack — from React user interfaces and REST API design to relational database modeling and software architecture decisions.

  • Developed and maintained RESTful APIs consumed by React frontends and mobile clients
  • Designed and normalized relational database schemas in MySQL, optimizing for query performance
  • Built reusable React UI components with TypeScript, focused on maintainable component architecture
  • Participated in architecture discussions and contributed to team code review processes
  • Introduced modern TypeScript patterns to gradually modernize legacy JavaScript codebases

KADEA Academy

Web & Mobile Development Bootcamp

Kinshasa, DRC

Training2022

Intensive 6-month bootcamp covering modern web and mobile development. Transitioned from systems engineering into application development — React, React Native, TypeScript, and API integration in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.

  • Built React web applications and React Native mobile apps from scratch
  • Learned TypeScript, modern JavaScript patterns, and REST API integration
  • Collaborated on team projects simulating real professional engineering environments
  • Developed foundational knowledge of component architecture and client-side state management

ESIS — École Supérieure d'Informatique Salama

Engineering Degree — Systems, Networks & Infrastructure

Kinshasa, DRC

Education2014 — 2019

5-year engineering program in IT infrastructure, systems administration, and networking. Built the technical foundation that now shapes every software architecture decision I make — an understanding of how systems actually work at the hardware and network level.

  • Linux server administration: setup, user management, file permissions, and process control
  • Networking: TCP/IP stack, routing protocols, VLANs, and enterprise network architecture design
  • Infrastructure: data center concepts, hardware management, and server provisioning workflows
  • Scripting: Bash automation for recurring system administration and maintenance tasks
  • Final year project: network infrastructure design for a medium-sized enterprise
