Christ Salvatore POUNGA MAZZELLA

Profile

Full-stack developer based in Dakar, trained in web development (programme followed up to year 3 of a bachelor's degree) and working professionally since 2021. I moved from design and front-end work to back-end development, then to integrating AI into web products. I design and ship complete products on my own, from idea to production, for markets where mobile and mobile money are part of everyday life. I work remotely and adapt my hours to my clients' time zones.
