How I work
Climate & Flood Intelligence
Hazard & vulnerability mapping and early-warning planning for the most exposed communities.
WASH Systems Design
Sanitation networks, treatment stations, and potable-water storage & distribution.
GIS & Machine Learning
Remote sensing + ML to predict hotspots and guide mitigation at scale.
Impact Assessment & Reporting
Clear, data-driven reporting and stakeholder engagement.
My Story
From civic action to field delivery Volunteer leadership (JCI, AIESEC) and Keep Yaoundé Clean built my practice around measurable community impact.
WASH & emergency response From wells and springs to emergency latrines and hygiene campaigns in crisis-affected towns.
Research for action A PhD pathway focused on integrated flood-risk mapping and sediment plastic debris in urban rivers.
Evidence first
Design for equity
