I build systems and then run them. Most of my work sits in three places: Rust services, the infrastructure that carries them, and payment rails between Europe and Central Africa.
- authkestra — a framework-agnostic authorization
orchestrator for Rust. What
better-authis to JavaScript, or Spring Security to Java. Built because the Rust ecosystem had no equivalent. - keybound-backend — key-bound backend services.
- Currently researching non-custodial wallet recovery without social login or seed-phrase friction.
- solana-validator-k8s — a Solana testnet node on Kubernetes. Portable Helm chart, disposable cloud layer, and a documented contract between them. Includes measurements nobody publishes: peak memory, disk profile, and the Agave defaults that are wrong outside mainnet.
- talos-hyper-v — Talos Linux Kubernetes clusters provisioned on Hyper-V.
- cloud-native-gauntlet · vps-provisioner — one-command environments.
Moving money between Europe and Central Africa without the correspondent-banking tax.
- xafp2p — peer-to-peer currency exchange that never moves money across a border. Two synchronized local transfers plus escrow instead of one international one. No SWIFT, no FX rails. Grew out of euro-xaf-exchange, an earlier EUR/XAF liquidity marketplace.
- vitepay — a different route to the same goal: bank-to-bank payment links over Open Banking (TrueLayer). Merchant generates a link or QR, funds settle account-to-account, instantly.
- notchpay-node — Notch Pay SDK for JavaScript.
Before this: lead backend on a school-management SaaS used across Cameroon (GLOM-OSS), API and platform work at Hublot-Tech, and the client for Ingl — a Solana validator-fractionalization protocol that won a Solana hackathon. I've also certified 24 junior developers in JavaScript, Java and Linux.
