Nouakchott, Mauritania · CTO at IDER Studio
About
Self-taught developer turned CTO. I build agents, developer tools, and privacy-first systems for markets where bandwidth is low and stakes are high. Shipped 6 production products from a studio in Nouakchott. Won #1 Technical Innovation at GIZ 2025. Represented Mauritania at GAICA 2025.
If it works in Nouakchott, it works everywhere.

What I Believe
The best tools are the ones you don't notice.
Privacy isn't a feature. It's a constraint you design around.
Ship fast, ship often, ship things that matter. Six products in one year. No excuses.

Partly available — open to select contracts and advisory around AI agents, MCP infrastructure, and developer tooling.
Colophon
What is this?
A portfolio disguised as a zine. Design extracted from projectbarcelona.co using Liftit, then reimagined.
Are you available?
Partly. I'm CTO at IDER Studio, but I take on select contracts — especially AI agents and developer tooling.
Where are you based?
Nouakchott, Mauritania. Fully remote. The location has never been the bottleneck.
What's your edge?
I build for constraint. Low bandwidth, unreliable networks, zero-budget environments.
