About

What draws me to security is that it doesn't tolerate narrow specialization: being good at it means being good at dev, at networking, and understanding the system down to the hardware. That is what my engineering degree from IUC (Institut Universitaire de la Côte, CTI- and CAMES-accredited, Master's level) covered: networks, systems and operating systems, security, and software development. I built my profile on that breadth: IAM/IGA architecture, penetration testing, reverse engineering, full-stack development, and applied AI research.

At MTN Cameroon, I designed BRIDGE, an identity governance engine processing 2.6 million records, formalized in my Master's thesis (defended in 2026). In parallel, I publish research (co-author, YOLO-AgriNet) and I'm working on NEB-Route, a Bayesian sequential search framework for locating missing persons. Native French speaker, professional English (TOEIC 845/990).

AuthorDefended in 2026

BRIDGE: Autonomous Digital Identity Governance in Non-Federated Environments

Master's thesis, 3iACCentral Africa Institute of Computer Engineering, an institute of IUC. · Institut Universitaire de la Côte (IUC), 3ILComputer engineering cycle at IUC, within the 3iAC institute. Engineering Cycle

Hybrid identity reconciliation engine (deterministic, probabilistic, LLM/RAG assistance on residual cases), with a Business Rules Engine and differential audit (Event Sourcing/CQRS). Deployed at MTN Cameroon: 100+ sources, 150,000+ digital identities, 0.995 precision and 0.999 recall on a 5,000-identity annotated sample, benchmarked against Splink.

First authorSubmitted, under revision (2026)

NEB-Route: A Multi-Modal Framework for Missing Persons Search

Bayesian sequential search framework for locating missing persons in urban environments, combining personalized Hawkes processes, graph neural networks (GCN), and behavioral homophily. Reduces average detection time by 19.4% over the state of the art (DeepMove-Seq) on the HuMob dataset (Tokyo, 100,000 individuals).
