I build
financial platforms
with Angular.

Manirakiza Blaise — Software Engineer & Tech Lead based in Bujumbura. Angular & TypeScript specialist, I design and ship mobile banking, e-wallet, and core banking interfaces used in production by financial institutions.

About

The engineer behind the interfaces.

From first commit to production — with a focus on tight frontend/backend collaboration.

I am a frontend engineer focused on Angular and the TypeScript ecosystem, specialized in financial platforms and ERP solutions.

I own the frontend end-to-end — architecture, components, API integration — working closely with backend teams to keep both sides of the system aligned.

I also lead small engineering teams and co-founded Ecodreum, a digital platform in the African tech ecosystem.
