my memoji

i'm Yannick Kouakou

Software Engineer @Mobeta & Open-source contributor

I'm passionate about computers since the age of seven! (shoutout to my dad for getting us our first desktop PC. He thought I’d use it to play games… Plot twist: I built a career instead 😂.)

Originally from Côte d’Ivoire, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in 2023, then moved to France to pursue further studies. In 2025, I completed a Master of Science in Software Architecture.

On the experience side, I have over 7 years of personal development (yes, debugging all night for fun does count, right? 👀) and 3 years of professional experience in the industry. I care deeply about best practices, clean code, performance optimization — and yes, I talk a lot in teams... but always to push things forward.

I’m also building my own SaaS product, Intrivio — a platform that helps users generate professional CVs and cover letters from a library of 100+ templates, all powered by Typst for high-quality, ATS-optimized output. It reflects my interest in developer tools, automation, and creating real-world impact through software.

I’m a big fan of collaboration, which naturally led me to become an open-source contributor. Working with developers from all over the world helps me grow, share, and give back to the tech community. Some projects I’ve contributed to include:

My preferred language is Go for its speed and simplicity, but I also work with Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, and recently Nix, which is challenging yet unmatched for reproducibility. It truly represents the future!

Outside of code, I’m passionate about football (pretty good on the field, but my career was cut short...torn ACL, sadly 😅), photography, filmmaking, and Greek mythology.

Congrats, you know a bit about me now 😉.
