How I got here

2023 — present

Service Desk Operator — HORSA Digital Retail S.r.l., Bresso (Milan)

Supporting portal users in Italian and English: phone and email support, taking ownership of tickets and resolving them within SLA, remote assistance on PCs and servers. Promoted to grade D2. Alongside this I keep building and shipping my own Symfony and React applications.

2020 — present

Full stack developer — projects in production

More than 15 applications online on infrastructure I run myself: Baccalaureat.sn, TrackOS, Dev Academy, DevJournal. Data modelling, REST APIs with JWT authentication, React and Redux Toolkit interfaces, deployment and maintenance on Ubuntu VPS.

2022 — 2023

Professional qualification — Web and Mobile Web Developer

A career change validated by the French Titre Professionnel Développeur Web et Web Mobile (RNCP level 5 — EQF 5). Preceded by a full stack developer internship at GAEA21 in Geneva, building complete sites front and back.

Before 2020

Master's in Physics and Chemistry — UCAD, Dakar

A scientific training that gave me the method before the code: break a problem down, test a hypothesis, measure a result. From there, the move into web development — self-taught first, then formally.

What I bring to a team

End-to-end autonomy

I take a feature from database design all the way to production: Doctrine model, API, interface, manual testing, deployment. Nothing gets lost in a handover.

Code that runs in production

More than 15 applications online, used by real people: payments, authentication, file handling, dashboards. I know what maintaining an app after launch actually costs.

Infrastructure with no middleman

I administer my own Linux VPS: Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL, SSL certificates, deployment, backups, monitoring. I understand what happens between a commit and an HTTP request.

Self-taught, so trained to learn

I taught myself to code from 2020 onwards, then consolidated it with a formal qualification. A technology I don't know yet isn't an obstacle — picking things up on my own is how I have always worked.
