I'm a developer from DR Congo 🇨🇩 with a background in design, digital communication and web development.
I have experience building web projects and working with Git and GitHub, and I'm currently strengthening my programming foundations while learning C#/.NET, React and Node.js.
I'm also exploring Linux, networking and cybersecurity, with a strong interest in understanding how software and systems work under the hood. My journey started with web development and UI/UX, and I'm currently going deeper into C#/.NET, React, Node.js, Linux, networking and cybersecurity.
- 🔷 C# & .NET — programming and software development fundamentals
- 🟨 JavaScript — strengthening my core JavaScript knowledge
- ⚛️ React — learning modern front-end development
- 🟢 Node.js — learning backend development and APIs
- 🐧 Linux & Bash — system and command-line fundamentals
- 🌐 Networking — understanding how systems communicate
- 🔐 Cybersecurity — security fundamentals, OSINT and ethical hacking
- 🤝 Open Source — improving my collaboration and GitHub workflow
A project focused on helping small businesses manage invoicing and business operations.
A lightweight invoicing application designed around practical business needs.
A productivity and task management project.
An open-source project exploring a creator-support platform adapted to the African ecosystem.
A collaborative project where I worked on web interfaces, application features and improvements.
I'm building strong foundations in cybersecurity through hands-on learning and controlled lab environments.
Currently exploring:
- Networking
- Linux
- Bash scripting
- Web security
- OSINT
- Ethical hacking
- Security labs
I enjoy understanding not only how systems work, but also how they fail, how they can be tested and how they can be secured.
I'm working toward becoming a stronger software engineer with solid knowledge of how applications, operating systems and networks work.
My focus is not just learning frameworks, but understanding:
How software is designed, built, tested, secured and maintained.
I enjoy collaborating on open-source projects and learning from other developers.
I'm especially interested in contributing to projects involving:
- Web development
- Developer tools
- C# / .NET
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- React
- Node.js
- Linux
- Cybersecurity
- Open-source tools
Every project I contribute to is an opportunity to improve, experiment and learn from other developers.
