Michel Kouame Banh, full-stack web developer in Abidjan
I work with Laravel and NestJS on the back end, Vue and Nuxt on the front end. I handle the whole project, from the database to the interface.
Work
Applications I built for companies in Côte d’Ivoire and Benin. Most are internal tools, so they have no public link.
Rent payment application: pay your own rent or a relative’s, rent and deposit advances, and unpaid-rent insurance through the SAAR Assurance API. Laravel and PostgreSQL backend with payment integration. In progress.
Internal real-estate subscription portal for GS2E, built full-stack in Laravel.
Internal SODECI application that takes connection requests off paper. Laravel on the backend.
CIE application for high-voltage (HTA) grid connection requests, from submission to processing. Laravel on the front end.
Management platform for a Côte d’Ivoire security firm: agent records, site assignments, shift planning, and access scoped to what each operations role is allowed to see.
Marketplace connecting domestic workers with employers: a profile and application flow on both sides, plus an admin role that moderates listings and accounts before they reach anyone.
Approach
I build in three steps, starting with the data, so the rest of the app has solid ground to stand on.
I start by modelling the data and deciding who can see or change what.
Then the back office your team uses every day to handle records, requests and planning.
Last, the app your customers use. It runs on the same data, so everything stays in sync.
About
I’m a full-stack web developer based in Abidjan. Most of my work is business software: the tools a company uses every day to manage its customers, requests, staff and payments. I usually start with the database and the API, then build the back office, then the screens the customers see. Lately I’ve worked on shift planning for a security company and on a platform that connects domestic workers with employers.
