I build platforms that hold.
And I break them before attackers do.

Software engineer, security researcher and founder. I design and operate production systems — commerce, AI infrastructure and payments — and I audit them the way an adversary would.

What I'm good at

Years of shipping real systems end-to-end — architecture, code, infrastructure, security — for products used in production every day.

Product & Platform Engineering

End-to-end SaaS and mobile products: architecture, APIs, offline-first POS, licensing, app-store delivery. Built to run for years, not to demo.

AI Infrastructure

LLM gateways and AI platforms: model routing, streaming, usage metering, quotas and billing. I operate one serving hundreds of models daily.

OpenAI-compatible APIsSSE streamingRAGbilling

Offensive Security

Web & infrastructure pentesting, vulnerability research and exploit development. I've audited government-scale systems and found new high-severity bugs in open source.

Payments & Mobile Money

Deep integrations with Orange Money (Mali, Côte d'Ivoire), Wave, MTN and Moov — including OTP flows, reconciliation and failure recovery. Money must not lie.

Systems & Infrastructure

Multi-server production fleets: Docker, PostgreSQL, Caddy, mail stacks, CI/CD, Cloudflare, monitoring, backups and hardening — everything it takes to stay up.

Reverse Engineering

Protocol analysis of mobile apps and desktop clients, API bridges and automation of closed platforms. If there's a wire, I can speak it.

Things I built & run

A few of the systems alive in production today — with real users, real money and real adversaries.

+ security research: infrastructure pentests, new vulnerabilities in open-source software, exploit-development labs.
