I was born on the 18th of May, 2005, in Bamenda, Cameroon — a city I had to leave when the Anglophone crisis made staying impossible. That kind of displacement teaches you something early: stability is something you build, not something you’re handed.

I found mine in curiosity. Watching my elder brother Clarence work on his PC, I didn’t understand a thing — but I was hooked. Something about the quiet power of a machine that does exactly what you tell it to never left me.

I went on to complete secondary school at Saint Benedict College Mvolye in Yaoundé, finishing with five As (25/25) at the A-levels in Pure Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. A Mastercard Foundation Scholarship then brought me to the American University of Beirut, where I’m now studying Electrical and Computer Engineering.

My focus is AI security and hardware exploitation. The world is moving fast — faster than its own defenses. Every breakthrough in AI quietly opens a new surface for attack, and most people aren’t paying attention to that gap. I am.

I’m not just studying security. I’m building the mindset, the toolkit, and the depth to work at the intersection of emerging technology and the vulnerabilities it creates.

I cook. I think of it as the only art form where the work disappears the moment it succeeds — and I find something freeing about that. I play basketball, read obsessively — research papers, books, anything — and I volunteer.

Having been displaced once, I understand what it means to need something as simple as stability or access. In Lebanon, I work with communities uprooted by conflict and with public schools that lack basic tech resources. It’s not separate from my technical work. It’s the reason for it.
