Software and security engineer building secure systems, AI agents, and the tools that protect them.

Bamako → Montreal. Pattern inspired by Malian bògòlan cloth, where every motif carries a meaning, much like a good signature rule.

About

I'm an American software and security engineer focused on cybersecurity and AI security. I grew up in Bamako, Mali, I'm based in Montreal, and I work in English and French every day.

I run OS Studio, a web and AI agency, where I'm building Équipe IA: a team of 18 AI agents that businesses subscribe to. Before that, I spent several years as the web engineer for a tax advisory firm, and I've shipped secure production systems for clients like Hotel Laforge.

I'm also part of the team building SibraSecure, an AI-powered cybersecurity startup, and I've built my own security tools: a password vault, a log analyzer, and a malware scanner.

Outside of tech, I founded Smile More Together, a streetwear brand built around unity, confidence, and joy. Its designs draw on cultures from around the world, and I lead its brand identity, product development, and creative direction.

I'm looking for cybersecurity and AI-security internships and roles, in Montreal, the United States, or remote, and I'm open to relocating.

Experience

Systems built for real clients, with real users.

  1. Since 2026

    Founder & Lead Engineer

    OS Studio · osstudio.net

    • Run a website and AI agency serving businesses in West Africa and internationally.
    • Building Équipe IA, a subscription SaaS of 18 custom AI agents across 5 departments (leadership, growth, operations, client support, and specialists), first used to run the agency itself, then offered to clients.
    • Designed a client area with 9 modules (agent chat, prospects, quotes and invoices, tasks, tickets, expenses, documents, knowledge base, and company profile) plus a separate admin side for the agency.
    • Kept humans in the loop: legal and finance agents assist people rather than make decisions on their own.
    • Deploy agents through WhatsApp Business for local markets, and ship client sites with server-side rendering for search visibility and link previews.

    Web Engineer

    Hotel Laforge

    • Built a bilingual (FR/EN) luxury hotel website and a full back-office dashboard in React, from scratch, reaching about 200 monthly visitors and a ~30% rise in direct bookings in the first quarter.
    • Shipped real-time room availability, Google OAuth sign-in, and a dual payment system (full payment or deposit) to reduce booking friction.
    • Designed role-based access control separating manager and receptionist privileges at both the UI and database level, saving staff 7 hours a week and removing privilege-escalation risk.
    • Secured the backend with per-role data scoping, immutable staff activity logs, and an automatic audit trail on every sensitive action.

    Administrative & Web Engineer

    Cabinet Fiscal Aliou Alassane Toure · Bamako, Mali

    • Built the firm's website from the ground up in HTML/CSS, increasing visitor-to-client conversion by about 30%.
    • Designed the full site structure, user flow, and visual identity to build credibility with prospective clients.
    • Automated appointment scheduling and client responses with an AI-powered layer, removing manual processing without adding staff.

Projects

Security tools I designed, built, and tested myself.

SibraSecure

An AI-powered platform to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats targeting businesses and critical infrastructure. As part of the team, I help shape the product architecture and go-to-market strategy toward a deployable solution. Working on it has deepened my understanding of security as a whole, from how threats are detected to how defenses are designed and deployed.
