Software that works. AI that explains itself.

Full-stack & mobile developer at Rogers Capital, Mauritius. Five years shipping fintech platforms — now with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.

For five years I’ve built fintech platforms at Rogers Capital — collections, brokerage, e-learning, project management, mobile. Along the way I earned a Master’s in AI & Machine Learning. Today I build software that works, and AI that can explain itself.

Expertise

What I bring to a team.

Full-stack engineering

From database schema to pixel — end to end.

React front ends, Node.js/Express APIs and PostgreSQL data models, designed and shipped for teams that rely on them every day.

Mobile

One backend. Every screen.

Cross-platform React Native & TypeScript apps that share services with their web counterparts.

Explainable AI

Models that show their work.

Machine learning with SHAP explainability, so decision-makers see why — not just what.

Fintech & compliance

Regulation, turned into specs.

Functional and non-functional specifications, requirement workbooks and acceptance tests — in English or French.

Selected work

Built for production.

Debt collections platform

A collections and receivables platform under the Rogers Capital brand. I build across the React front end, Node.js/Express APIs and PostgreSQL — and helped take it to market with design tokens, a product deck, a demo video and an awards entry.

MSc dissertation

Which factors make a road accident severe? I asked the model — and made it explain.

A comparative evaluation of SVM and XGBoost for accident-severity classification on the UK’s open STATS19 records, with SHAP to show what drives every prediction.

Mauritius’s local data was too limited for reliable training, so the study doubles as a feasibility case for data-scarce small island states.
