WORK
Every project starts from a real need.
I start from the domain question, build the system that answers it and take it to production. Here are three examples.
01 · THE NEED
“How much tax do I owe, and why?”
02 · WHAT I BUILT
tax api Node.js · TypeScript · MongoDB (~10,000 lines) taxes corporate tax, VAT, payroll, business license… parameters in the database, editable without redeployingassistant RAG · FastAPI · Google Gemini corpus 2,700+ excerpts of the General Tax Code
03 · THE RESULTIn production at the DGI: fiscpredict.impots.bj
Winner of the 1st FISCATHON Benin. Updated to the 2026 Finance Law.
EXPERTISE

DevOps that keeps production up

Taxation, understood from the inside
