I build mobile and SaaS products for African markets, from architecture to release. The work is product-grade: store launches, data boundaries, payment flows, and interfaces built for real users.

Mobile-first builder for real markets.

Three years of turning product ideas into apps, SaaS foundations, and release-ready systems.

Full-stack and mobile developer originally from Chad, based in Kigali, Rwanda. My work sits where product, engineering, and African market constraints meet.

React Native, Next.js, and Supabase with strict TypeScript. Apps shipped through App Store and Google Play, commercial boilerplates, and SaaS platforms.

I document the process on @Nourdevtd for francophone African developers, turning shipped work into useful lessons.

Case Study

How I built Pro Rently

From idea to App Store + Play Store. React Native, Supabase, multilingual AI.

Rental flow

Search, inspect, message, and convert from one mobile journey.

The Challenge

Build a multilingual real estate rental app for African markets with local mobile payments, real-time messaging, and support for 4 languages including audio translation.

Key Decisions

1React Native + Expo for cross-platform (iOS + Android in one codebase)
2Supabase Realtime for messaging + RLS for data isolation
3Audio translation pipeline across EN/FR/Kinyarwanda/Swahili
4Freemium by neighborhood with MTN MoMo + Airtel Money

The Result

App Stores

Languages

Codebase

Technical Challenges

Auth & RLS

Row-level security on every table. Policies isolate tenant data without app-level checks.

Multilingual Audio

Translation pipeline across 4 languages with graceful fallbacks when a language pair is unavailable.

Store Submissions

Multiple rejections, guideline corrections, metadata rewrites. Final acceptance on both stores.

Architecture

Client

React Native screens, Expo builds, mobile-first navigation.

Auth

Supabase auth with profile roles for tenants, owners, and admins.

Data

PostgreSQL tables for listings, messages, profiles, subscriptions, and media.

Security

RLS policies keep user, listing, and message access scoped correctly.

Market

Maps, language support, and mobile money flows match local user behavior.

Launch story

Prepared production builds with Expo and EAS.
Adjusted store metadata, screenshots, and guideline details through review.
Used the release process to harden the product beyond local testing.

What I would improve next

Add saved searches and listing alerts
Expand to more Kigali districts
Add property sale closing workflows

The tech I use daily.

Opinionated stack. Strict TypeScript. RLS where data needs boundaries. Mobile-first where users live on phones.
