I'm Zingui Fred Mike—a passionate technologist and builder with a robust foundation in Computer Science from the ICT University Cameroon. My journey is defined by a relentless drive to bridge cutting-edge theory and real-world impact, from cryptography and data science to system architecture and cloud-native platforms. I believe in building technology not just for scale, but for positive progress in society.

• System Design & Architecture:
  I architect and build resilient, distributed systems—recently leading the design and development of Nexus, a distributed cloud-native container orchestrator, and Lendema, a secure blockchain-powered donation platform.
• Research & Applied AI:
  My commitment to responsible AI shines in projects like LinguoMT, leveraging NLP for underrepresented African languages and exploring the ethics of AI in security and society.
• Application & Infrastructure Hacking:
  From building digital forensics tools for storage analysis to engineering mini-compilers for Cameroonian informal languages, I pursue deep understanding by working at infrastructure and application layers.

• 🛠 Tech Stack: Go, Python, Java, C/C++, Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC, NextJS, Protobuf, Nginx, Trivy, SonarQube, Google Colab, Wandb.
• ⚡ Domains: Distributed Systems, Blockchain, Cryptography, DevSecOps, Networking, AI/ML, Digital Forensics, Data Engineering.
• 🌐 Tools: GitLab, Jaeger, Consul, Keycloak, Cisco Packet Tracer, Excalidraw.
• 🌱 Languages: Fluent in French (N2), English (B2).

• Nexus: Designed and implemented a distributed container orchestrator from scratch in Go—crafting my own file system abstraction, network stack, and resource management primitives, reimagining what open-source platforms can be.
• LinguoMT: Engineered and published translation models and datasets for Fufulde & Bafia, promoting linguistic inclusion through AI-driven solutions.
• Lendema: Building blockchain-backed systems to democratize donations, enhance transparency, and empower non-profits globally.

• 🔭 Currently focused on productionizing distributed systems, and deepening my expertise as an emerging system architect.
• 🤝 Always open to research and building ambitious side projects—especially those that combine AI, security, and real-world problem solving.
