Summary
After completing my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering I gained interest in building
mobile applications and so I learned about Android Development and worked as an Android Developer for a
year. As I built applications for Mobile phones, simultaneously, I researched about Web development and got hooked on the
technology. Thereafter, I took courses in Wordpress development. This landed me a job as a Wordpress developer, building
Web Applications such as ecommerce sites, registration sites and more. After a while, my job wasn't as challenging so I decided to learn something new.
Building Web applications with React and NodeJS got fascinating and so I stuck with it. My new job as a Full stack developer
gave me the opportunity to garner sufficient experience to embark on a new venture as an Entrepreneur. In this light, I built my own Web Application
using React for the front-end and NodeJS for the backend. As lead developer in a team of four, for two years, we ran our
business fulltime. By the end of 2022, I felt overwhelmed by running a business so I decided
to get back to working on a full time job. Again, I needed a new challenge and so I got professional training in Blockchain development.
I learned about building a blockchain, building DApps on Ethereum and building DApps on the Internet Computer Protocol.
The most fascinating technology amongst these was the Internet Computer Protocol because of its innovation and the fact that
I did not have to worry about Databases, APIs, Servers and all the hectic work that comes with the backend.
Currently I build DApps on the ICP blockchain and I am excited about taking on this new journey.
Technology aside, I take pleasure in watching movies and reading books. I still think Hidden Colors is the greatest documentary of all times.
My Experience
Android Application Developer
CAMEROON TELECOMMUNICATIONS
2015 - 2016 (1 year)
Working as an Android developer was my first job after graduating from the University as a Computer Engineer.
My task was to build an application for the company's web portal. The idea of this app was to send messages to
the user's phone rather than making employees login to the company website inorder to read mails.
They required that information should reach their personel on phone. Messages, news and more had to be delivered through push
notifications. I built the application on Android Studio using Java. Coding in Java was fun because it was my favorite language at the time.
I worked with the guidance of senior developers in the company.
Wordpress Developer
Cameroon Gallery
2017 - 2018 (1 year)
Cameroon Gallery is an ecommerce site on which you can buy African artifacts. I worked there as a
Wordpress full stack developer. I built custom Plugins from scratch, designed the front-end application and
wrote the backend code in PHP. I gained experience working in Php, HTML, CSS and Javascript. I was able to
dable between the front-end and the backend comfortably by the end of my contract. We shipped out products from
Cameroon to America because we had buyers from out of Africa who needed their goods delivered quickly. So once
people placed their orders on our site from out of the continent, we would ship them from America.
Sellers would come to us to sell their content online. We would register their content in our system,
include it in our online and offline store and promote the products on our social media for customers to
see.
This job enabled me to be dynamic, creative and well versed with Wordpress CMS.
Full-Stack Developer
Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock
2018 - 2020 (2 years)
As a full-stack developer, I built Web applications alongside a large team of over thirty developers working from
different regions in Cameroon. We were given tasks to build different applications in the Agriculture and Livestock sector.
Most of the applications I worked on were internal web applications. They ran on the ministry's servers and they were accessible
only to personnel. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock had multiple projects including Census programs, Food-chain development
programs and much more. These programs required databases and front-end Web Applications that allowed other employees to
carry out on-field census and save the data directly to the database from any region. Remote access was granted to agents on the field.
Full-stack Developer
237 First Music Services
2020 - 2022 (2 years)
237 First Music Services is a one-stop music service online. On this platform, artists could upload
all their music content including videos, audio and sheet music. Once the music was published on the app, the artist
could promote, sell and distribute their content. Also, the app had a gps service that enabled users to find art creation places.
Generally, the idea was to create a platform that could provide all the digital services that a musician required.
