About Me

Experienced Software Developer with more than 8 years of experience delivering robust solutions across diverse sectors, including finance and healthcare. Expert in Java, Spring, and modern development practices, I excel in designing and implementing scalable, high-quality applications that meet critical business requirements.

Originally from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, I have worked in various countries and cultures. My international experience has taught me to be adaptable, resilient, and creative in solving problems and working with teams.

Fun fact: Côte d'Ivoire is the world's largest producer of cocoa beans, accounting for approximately 40% of global production!

I'm passionate about clean code, performance optimization, and building scalable systems that solve real-world problems. My approach combines technical excellence with a deep understanding of business requirements.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy doing OSINT stuffs, learning about various topics, from economy to biology and staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.
