I'm Gédéon Banyi, a PHP & Python backend developer and data scientist based in Kinshasa, DR Congo 🇨🇩. I design scalable backend architectures, train machine learning models for real-world problems, and tinker with embedded systems and electronics on the side.
My work sits at the intersection of clean backend engineering and applied AI — from predicting malaria outbreaks with computer vision, to using reinforcement learning to ease traffic congestion in Kinshasa's streets.
- [ + ] Data Science & Machine Learning for real-world impact (health, mobility, language)
- [ + ] Backend engineering with strong architecture discipline (MVC, PHP, FastAPI, Django)
- [ + ] Embedded systems & electronics as a passion project
- [ + ] Focused on solutions relevant to Africa: local languages, local infrastructure, local challenges
- [ + ] Currently exploring LLMs, AI agents & RAG systems
- malaria-IA — computer vision model for malaria prediction, served as a Flask web app
- kinshasa-traffic-rl / sumo_ia_roulage — reinforcement learning for adaptive traffic-light control
- ValentineAI — an emotionally-aware AI companion
- archictecture-MVC-libraries — my reusable PHP MVC architecture
- data-transformer — a PHP library for converting data between formats
