Problem: University internship placement and student monitoring across Francophone Africa still rely on paper forms, scattered emails, and manual spreadsheets, leading to roughly 30% unverified agreements and zero actionable data.

Built Solution: A complete cloud infrastructure connecting 5 core roles (universities, corporate hosts, students, academic supervisors, and ministries) with automated approval workflows, tamper-proof digital agreements, and a real-time employability observatory.

Outcome: Live operational MVP on stageconnect.app. 2026-2027 academic pilot in preparation, targeting 10 to 15 private universities in Benin (signatures from October 2026).

Problem: Every year, thousands of Beninese high school graduates select university majors by default or misinformation, risking dropout due to misalignment with their actual Baccalaureate grades and cognitive affinities.

Built Solution: An AI-powered academic advisor combining Baccalaureate score analysis, RIASEC psychometric profiling, real-time official MESRS ranking algorithms, and automated generation of a 10-section Parent PDF report accessible on web and WhatsApp.

Outcome: Successfully launched in July 2026. 7 initial paying users guided with high satisfaction. Empirical usage data leveraged to architect the V2 platform.

Problem: Private and public schools struggle with fragmented legacy software, brittle spreadsheets, and severe communication latency with parents regarding student attendance and tuition status.

Built Solution: A complete multi-tenant school management SaaS: 4 specialized role-based applications (Executive, Teachers, Parents, Students), instant WhatsApp/SMS parent notifications, and strict PostgreSQL Row-Level Security isolation.

Outcome: Over 622 automated tests, resilient microservice backend on NestJS and PostgreSQL RLS, actively adopted in production by private educational institutions.
