Software Dev & E-commerce specialist

Technical contributions

As volunteer developer I work on fixing bugs on mediawiki core, Mediawiki extensions and on Pywikibot. I also develop some tools. Here are some of my technical contributions.

In 2018, I have been cited in Production Excellence for having helped fixed a 6-month bug preventing the normal functioning of the "Thanks extension".

Community building and projects management

I also co-lead Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth and the Francophone month of contribution projects in Bénin.

In 2018, during Wikimedia Hackathon, I started the Fon Wikipedia (officially launched on October 2023) and a community of Fon contributors.
