Foulla.Douala, Cameroon02 / Behind the work
An engineer’s mind.
A human approach.
Good systems start with understanding the people who use them.
I’m Foulla Samankassou, an Azure DevOps and .NET engineer based in Douala, Cameroon. My work spans building applications, modernizing legacy systems, and helping teams put new technology to use.
At Africa Global Logistics, that journey has grown from application engineering into AI and business intelligence delivery. I care as much about making an idea clear as making the code work.
