My Journey

Education

2018 - 2021

Cotonou International School Junior High School

Located in Cotonou, Benin, Cotonou International School provided me with a solid foundation in general education. During my time there, I studied a broad curriculum that included core subjects such as Mathematics, English, and Social Sciences, as well as introductory scientific courses like Physics, Biology, and Computer Science.

2021 - 2024

Cotonou International School Senior High School

I attended Senior High School at Cotonou International School in Cotonou, Benin, where I pursued an advanced general education. My studies included core subjects such as Mathematics, English, and Social Sciences, alongside higher-level scientific disciplines including Physics, Biology, and Computer Science.

2025 - Till Date

Rust College - Bachelor of Science in Computer Science: 4.0 GPA (Expected Dec 2028)

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with the goal of becoming a software engineer after graduation. My studies are focused on developing strong programming skills, understanding software development principles, and gaining practical experience in computing and technology.

Relevant Coursework: Pre-Calculus, Intro to Python, Calculus I

My Experience

Work & Leadership

May 2025 - July 2025

Biology Research Intern

Rhodes College, Memphis, TN May – July 2025

During my internship at Rhodes College, I managed 20+ complex scientific protocols, strictly adhering to documentation standards that mirror software version control and debugging methodologies. I also automated data entry workflows where possible, reducing manual error rates by 15% through systematic process optimization. I gained hands-on experience in molecular biology techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, and bacterial/yeast transformations, applying critical thinking to troubleshoot issues and strengthening my collaboration and communication skills. This experience further sparked my interest in software development.

Moubely (Desktop Assistant) - Electron, Gemini/DeepSeek/Perplexity APIs

Moubely Desktop Assistant AI Icon

A high-performance Privacy-First Overlay using advanced Electron window management to ensure zero-latency data security for enterprise-grade productivity workflows.

Core Architecture & Privacy-First Overlay: Engineered a high-performance Privacy-First Overlay using Electron, implementing advanced window management (transparency, click-through forwarding, and always-on-top states) to provide non-intrusive AI assistance. I recently improved this by implementing zero-latency rendering using ready-to-show callbacks to solve rendering bugs, and added a distraction-free interaction mode that seamlessly integrates with OS workflows while maintaining data security.

Resilient Multi-Provider LLM Orchestration: Originally architected as a 7-layer "Resilient Multi-Provider LLM Controller" routing system, I have since expanded this to a massive 18-model logic engine. This system now intelligently cascades across tiers—ranging from supreme reasoning models like Gemini 3.0 Pro and Claude 3.7 to efficiency models like DeepSeek—ensuring zero downtime. To stabilize this, I engineered a history sanitization slicer to prevent API rejections and a vision-based "Solve" tool that automatically routes traffic to the correct Vision or Text brain based on the payload.

Real-Time Multi-Modal Data Streams: Developed a hybrid speech-to-text system using a local Whisper server with a custom restart loop to process audio in continuous chunks, effectively bypassing API rate limits. To further refine this, I implemented a ticket-based sorting system that resolves race conditions where cloud responses might arrive out of order, ensuring perfect chronological transcriptions. I also added a 1000ms cloud fallback logic to trigger whenever the local server queue is over-taxed.

System-Level Features & Optimization: Beyond global keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+H) and native Tray APIs, I have optimized the application’s footprint through RAM-based smart caching, which reads and stores student profiles once on startup for instant retrieval. I also refactored the underlying architecture to use type-only imports, successfully resolving circular dependency crashes that previously caused startup hangs, and integrated live terminal telemetry to monitor IPC and LLM data flow in real-time.

Movie Search App - React, Tailwind CSS, AppWrite

Movie Search App Dashboard with Posters

A reactive movie discovery platform featuring real-time trending analytics, secure Appwrite authentication, and intelligent mobile deep-linking.

Read More

Built a reactive web application leveraging Appwrite for secure authentication and real-time database management to track and visualize trending content from external REST APIs.

Rich Detail Display: Designed a custom modal architecture to display detailed movie information (overview, rating, vote count) on click, preserving user context.

Intelligent Streaming Routing: Engineered a smart traffic routing system that dynamically detects the user's device:
— PC/Web: Links directly to the web streaming site, Nkiri.
— Mobile (Android/iOS): Links to Nkiri, but also offers an exclusive option for the native app, Anilab, through optimized mobile deep-linking (Android Intents).

Designed a fully responsive interface using Tailwind CSS, creating a custom modal architecture that displays rich movie details and preserves user context across mobile and desktop devices.
