I have built the web presence of an entire open source organisation — websites, apps, documentation, blogs, dashboards and translations — from the ground up. I learn fast, ship real code, and care deeply about what I build.
Built through real work — every skill here has been used in a live, production project.
Real work done for real teams — all live in production, all used by real people worldwide.
Built the official company website for Afkanerd — the organisation behind DekuSMS and RelaySMS. Developed the full site, creating a professional web presence for an open source software company.
afkanerd.com ↗
Built the main website for SMSWithoutBorders — a privacy-first open source organisation. The site serves as the primary public face of the organisation and its mission.
smswithoutborders.com ↗Built the research papers section — works both as a standalone platform and as an integrated part of the main SMSWithoutBorders website. Structured to present academic and technical research clearly.
smswithoutborders.com/research ↗Collaborated with colleagues to build the official RelaySMS website — the flagship product of SMSWithoutBorders that allows messaging without internet using SMS.
relay.smswithoutborders.com ↗Contributed instrumentation tests and multilingual translations to the RelaySMS Android app — a 5+ year old production codebase. Tests run on real physical devices and PRs merged to production.
Download on Playstore↗Took over the official documentation platform in 2023 and have been maintaining and updating every part of it since then. This is the developer documentation used by all engineers and contributors across the entire organisation — updated continuously for 3+ years.

Collaborated with colleagues to build the official SMSWithoutBorders blog — the platform used to publish organisation news, technical articles, and project updates.
blog.smswithoutborders.com ↗Contributed to the RelaySMS telemetry dashboard — a real-time data visualisation tool for monitoring RelaySMS usage and performance metrics across the platform.
telemetry.smswithoutborders.com ↗Contributed instrumentation tests and multilingual translations to the DekuSMS Android app — a 4+ year old production codebase. Tests run on real physical devices and PRs merged to production.
Download on Playstore↗Contributed translation support to the RelaySMS library (libsmsmms) — an open source core library used across the SMSWithoutBorders ecosystem.
GitHub ↗Rebuilt the DekuSMS website as a fully responsive, multilingual single-page React application supporting 7 languages including Arabic RTL, Russian, German, and more.
I am a self-taught developer based in Bamenda, Cameroon. I have built the entire web presence of SMSWithoutBorders and Afkanerd — 6+ live websites, a documentation platform maintained solo for 3+ years, a telemetry dashboard, and Android app contributions.
I started with HTML and CSS, taught myself JavaScript and React, and am now learning Kotlin and Jetpack Compose as a Junior Android Developer. Every skill I have was built by doing real work for real teams.
I am the kind of developer who takes ownership — when I took over the SMSWithoutBorders documentation in 2022, I have updated every single part of it. When I joined the Android team, I shipped real instrumentation tests to a 7-year-old production codebase.
I dream of contributing to open source competitions, traveling internationally, and building a remote career that lets me grow as far as my potential can take me.
I am open to junior and mid-level roles, freelance projects, remote opportunities, and open source collaborations. Let's build something real.
