Fullstack developer and co-founder, based in Dakar — I design and ship web products, from spec to server.
Three years writing Laravel, React/Next.js and Node.js for Senegalese and international startups. Currently backend lead at Société Africaine de Pétrole, co-founder at Teranga Dev and Nurapic.
Event photography sales platform with facial recognition and QR codes. Guests find their own photos in three seconds; photographers keep 70%.
Medical practice SaaS. Four modules shipped: consultations (digitizing the paper register), teleconsultations (Jitsi Meet self-hosted on AWS), patient portal, and pharmacy management. Collaborated with an integrator based in Nepal.
Internal management platform for a marine & auto fuel station. Documented, secured Laravel API. Currently under testing with the administrative teams.
Driving school management SaaS — scheduling, students, instructors, payments. Containerized, full CI/CD, in production with several Senegalese driving schools.
Senegalese product studio founded in 2023. We design and ship SaaS products and custom client sites — from the first mockup to the production server. Four in-house products shipped so far, including Creneau and Ticket-Events.
terangadev.com ↗Event photography startup with a facial recognition engine. Co-founded with a business developer and a photographer. In production, built by Teranga Dev.
nurapic.com ↗I've been a dev since ESTM. I started with networks and sysadmin, then switched to web and never really left.
These days I ship — Laravel APIs, React frontends, some Python FastAPI when needed, Docker and CI/CD to keep it all running. What I genuinely enjoy is designing a product with someone and getting it all the way to users.
Based in Dakar, open to jobs and gigs — locally, remotely, or internationally.
Open to full-time roles (locally, remotely, or internationally), freelance work, and product collaborations. Email is the fastest way to reach me — I reply within 48 hours.
