I’m a passionate web developer, specialized in front-end development, web-design, and User Experience (UX).
Everything started some years ago, when I decided to start playing with LAMP Server (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP or Perl), to develop a static personal website, that I could host on the server of my university (Vienna University of Technology). It was an amazing journey to see how far I’ve come today. The web development technologies have evolved a lot in the last years, making extremely competitive to be up to date with the latest changes.
Originally from Togo, Africa, I grew up in Lome. Moved to Vienna Austria in 2008, I quickly got interested in Web Development and Computer Science. From simple web development with LAMP Server configuration, I’ve gathered more skills and knowledge from my Business Informatic Study at Vienna University of Technology.
Along the road, I started getting interested in data-mining projects, and developing a love for NLPs (Natural Language Process), and Artificial Intelligence, which are my focus now. With some of my free times I play around Google Cloud Platform, IBM Bluemix, the Watson API, Google Prediction API etc …
Just to mention that I’m a musician, well I don’t sing but I do play amazing good drums.. Something that I sometimes consider as pure talent than learned skill.
I’m also involved in few developer communities where I’m part of the organizing team, such as Java-Vienna and GDG-Vienna (Google Developer Group – Vienna), and also actively participating in many other developer meetups..
Conferences
I’ve attended several tech conferences over the last 4 years, been speaker as some of them and co-organize many of them as well. Here is a list of some of those conferences
GOOGLE IO
Google I/O features highly technical, in-depth sessions focused on building web, mobile, and enterprise applications with Google and open web technologies such as Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, Google APIs, Google Web Toolkit, App Engine, and more.I've been priviledged to attend this conference in 2013, 2014. 2015, and 2016. In 2017, together with GDG Vienna, I've co-organized the Google IO Extended in Vienna.

The idea behind the droidcon conferences is to support the Android platform and create a global network for developers and companies.

In 2015, I've volunteered in Berlin and in 2016, we organized our very first Droidcon in Austria.
