Hello, I'm Aristide — a front-end developer, entrepreneur, and UI/UX designer based in Africa. My journey in web development began out of a deep passion for technology and a desire to create meaningful digital experiences. From the first lines of code I wrote, I knew that building digital products was more than just a career path — it was a way to shape ideas into reality and contribute to the digital transformation of businesses. Over the years, I have honed my skills in building modern, responsive, and high-performance web applications that help businesses thrive in the digital world.

My Background

With 4+ years of experience in front-end development, I've worked with various clients across different industries, including e-commerce, insurance, and SaaS platforms. My tech stack revolves around Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and modern web technologies. Along the way, I've also expanded my skills in UI/UX design, ensuring that every project I deliver is both functional and visually appealing.

I started my professional journey working on WordPress projects, helping businesses establish their online presence. As I grew more passionate about front-end development, I transitioned into building custom web applications with modern JavaScript frameworks. In 2024, I took the leap into full-time freelancing, driven by the ambition to create impactful digital solutions while building a personal brand that empowers businesses through technology.

What Drives Me

I'm passionate about helping businesses and individuals turn their ideas into reality. Whether it's creating a custom website, a SaaS platform ... , my goal is to deliver solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also create seamless user experiences. Every project is an opportunity to challenge myself, learn something new, and bring value to the client.

I believe in continuous learning and innovation — two principles that guide me in every project I take on. Technology is constantly evolving, and staying updated allows me to offer my clients the best possible solutions. My ultimate aspiration is to build open-source tools and SaaS products that empower businesses worldwide and foster a culture of knowledge sharing within the developer community.

One of my proudest projects is YALA Events, a event management platform designed to simplify the planning, promotion, and ticketing of various events. The platform empowers event organizers to create, customize, and promote their events seamlessly, while offering attendees a smooth and secure ticket purchasing experience. Yala Events aims to connect people through unforgettable experiences, providing features such as online registration, ticket sales, and real-time event updates. Whether for small gatherings or large-scale events, Yala Events makes event management easier, faster, and more accessible.

My Vision

Through my freelance journey, I aim to:

  • Help businesses improve their digital presence with custom web solutions.
  • Build innovative SaaS products like Feedsnap that address real-world problems.
  • Contribute to the open-source community by sharing tools, knowledge, and resources.
  • Inspire other young developers in Africa to pursue tech careers and embrace the freelance lifestyle.
  • Establish my own digital products brand that offers SaaS tools and educational content for businesses and developers.

Let's Connect

Whether you're a business owner looking for a reliable freelance developer or a fellow tech enthusiast, I'd love to connect and collaborate. I believe that great projects are built through collaboration, transparency, and a shared vision of creating impactful digital products.

Let's build something great together!
