Black African creator with albinism, based in Cameroon — building community technology (STG) and spiritual writing (LSSP) as acts of care from the Global South.
About
Identity & Vision
I am an independent creative developer and writer based in Douala, Cameroon. As a Black African man living with albinism and low vision, I exist at a complex and often challenging intersection of identities. Navigating the creative and tech industries from the Global South requires resilience — and a commitment to building my own sustainable pathways rather than waiting for institutional doors to open.
My work is guided by a single conviction: that technology and culture, when built with intention, become infrastructures of care — tools that serve communities rather than extract from them.
I maintain two distinct creative projects, both hosted on Open Collective.
Seed To Go (STG)
Seed To Go is a serverless API ecosystem built entirely on mobile infrastructure (Android/Termux), powering a family of free, community-driven sub-projects:
- Seed To Bible — A structured Bible API for pastors, seminary students, and developers building devotional tools with no institutional budget.
- Seed To Syntax — A knowledge graph mapping the history and lineage of programming languages. Open data for the global developer community.
- Learning Paths (lore) — An automated curriculum builder for non-formal education. Built for those without a university, the self-taught developer, the youth worker who needs a syllabus by tomorrow.
- Legal Briefs — Plain-language legal summaries by jurisdiction. Legal opacity is a tool of exclusion; this pushes back.
- Story Architect — A narrative graph engine for writers, educators, and community storytellers preserving collective memory in structured digital form.
All sub-projects are free for community use. A professional tier sustains the infrastructure.
LSSP — Life Spiritual Secret Principle
LSSP is my creative spiritual writing practice. I extract life principles hidden inside cultural works — series, novels, philosophy, lived experience — and deliver them to my community as essays, guided meditations, and structured self-reflection exercises.
Each principle has a foundation (the philosophical core), pillars (supporting narratives from diverse traditions), and an overcome (a personal challenge for the reader). The meditation practice draws from Vipassana, Metta, and transcendental traditions — adapted for a contemporary African audience seeking depth beyond surface spirituality.

Why Open Collective
I have no legal entity capable of issuing transparent donation receipts or providing international donors with auditable accountability. Open Collective, under fiscal hosting, resolves this entirely — giving supporters the confidence that their contribution is managed transparently, and giving me the financial infrastructure to focus on the work itself.
Supporting my projects means investing in digital and cultural infrastructure built from the Global South, by someone with a disability, for communities that cannot afford institutional access. This is not a niche edge case. It is the majority of the world's relationship with knowledge, culture, and technology.
