Founder & Software Engineer • Building Scalable Technology for Africa

LinkedIn AttendanceGM Email


About

I architect and deploy technology solutions that solve structural problems across Africa — from emergency response and healthcare access to workforce management.

As a founder and full-stack engineer based in The Gambia, I build systems that replace inefficient manual processes with scalable, automated infrastructure. My work spans SaaS platforms, AI-assisted healthcare tools, and civic technology serving thousands of users across the region.

Currently building AttendanceGM into a full HR and workforce management platform while leading product development across multiple ventures.

Focus areas: Backend architecture, systems automation, API development, and startup building.


Featured Projects

Workforce attendance evolving into a complete HR management platform.

  • Replaces paper-based tracking with offline-first digital workflows

Field Impact

Technology is validated by adoption, not by commits. AttendanceGM has moved beyond the codebase into real organizations that shape the product through daily use:

  • WAVE Gambia — Onboarded with feature requests now shaping the roadmap: automated leave balances, performance management, and offline attendance for field staff
  • Sal Consult Gambia LTD — Engaged for digital transformation, moving from paper-based attendance to automated tracking
  • London Clinic — Consulted for workflow assessment and digital readiness evaluation
  • Team Rising Stars — Active deployment partner, providing feedback that drives product iteration
  • Legacy Foundations — Organizational client, contributing to the growing understanding of how Gambian institutions adopt HR technology

These are not just logos on a landing page. Every onboarding session, feature request, and candid conversation reveals how organizations actually operate — and what they need from technology built for them.


Achievements

  • #1 GitHub Commits — The Gambia (886+ contributions, leading national leaderboard)
  • Top 5 Finalist — Hack4Gambia National Hackathon (2025)
  • Hacktoberfest 2025 Contributor — Fixed critical documentation issues in Biopython, restoring access for thousands of researchers
  • Deployed multiple production systems serving active users across The Gambia
  • Co-founded two ventures: Blueprint Creators and Mandin Tech

Mission

Technology in Africa shouldn't be adapted from elsewhere — it should be built here, by people who understand the problems firsthand.

I build because manual systems still govern payroll, emergency response still relies on phone calls, and healthcare scheduling still happens on paper. These aren't just inconveniences — they're structural inefficiencies that hold back entire economies.

Every system I deploy replaces friction with function. AttendanceGM started as an attendance tracker. Today it's evolving into a complete HR platform because I listen to the organizations using it — not because a roadmap written in Silicon Valley said so.
