As a Cameroonian native with a strong interest in computer science, I've been immersed in the world of technology since I was very young. My path in technology began with my brother's support, who also majored in computer science, creating a collaborative environment of creativity and discovery.
At the Microsoft Office Championship, my proficiency in Word 2019, Excel 2019, and PowerPoint 2019 was acknowledged, awarding me a specialist certification and confirming my technical proficiency.
The NASA EED Mentoring Program provides participants with extensive interview preparation, networking opportunities, and competitive internship training. This experience is helping me improve my professional skills and broaden my understanding of the aerospace sector.
In addition to my technical ambitions, I am an active member of Girls Who Code and Rewriting the Code, where I am dedicated to lifelong learning and networking. These communities have been crucial to my development, providing opportunities to learn new skills and connect with like-minded people.
This year, I accepted the post of Storage Scholar Brand Ambassador, which tested my communication and marketing abilities. Through this venture, I have developed my capacity to engage audiences and communicate effectively, relying on my teamwork skills to achieve success.
I completed my secondary education at Government Bilingual High School Dschang, located in the western region of Cameroon. During my twelfth grade, I served as the President of the Computer Science Club, where I organized workshops focused on Microsoft Office applications. These workshops aimed to enhance the computer literacy of underclassmen.
Currently, I am a full-time student at Washington and Lee University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Beyond my technical pursuits, I am actively engaged in the African Society Club and the Gaming Club, which enriches my collegiate experience.

This portfolio showcases my journey as a web developer, highlighting my skills, projects, and experiences. It serves as a comprehensive summary of my abilities and professional background. The design and structure of the portfolio were meticulously planned to provide an engaging and user-friendly experience.
As the sole creator of this portfolio, I was responsible for every aspect of its development, from the initial design and layout to the final implementation and deployment. This involved writing the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, as well as handling the graphical design elements.
Problem: The initial design of the webpage was static and didn’t adapt well to different screen sizes, leading to a poor user experience on mobile devices and tablets.
Solution: To address this, I implemented a responsive design by:
Problem: Local file URIs were not accessible when the website went live, which caused broken links and missing resources.
Solution: I utilized GitHub to host the files and converted the local file URIs to HTTP links. This not only fixed the resource access issue but also streamlined the deployment process for future updates.
Description: Developed a robust console-based application in C++ that manages user registrations, logins, and stores user credentials securely using file handling techniques. Implemented object-oriented principles to ensure modularity and scalability.
Challenge: Ensuring that user data is consistently saved and loaded from a file to maintain data persistence across sessions.
Solution: Implemented robust file I/O operations using ifstream and ofstream to read from and write to a file. Created a structured format to store user data, allowing for easy parsing and error checking during file operations.
Challenge: Limited accessibility for users who need to download and compile the application locally.
Solution: Offered an optional link through OnlineGDB, an online compiler service, where users can interact with the application directly.
