About MeAbout Me
Crafting digital experiences with passion, precision, and purpose
👋Hello, I'm The Y4NN
My full name is Ragnang-Newende Yanis Axel DABO. I'm a Software Engineer from Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, with a curiosity that often takes me beyond a single layer of software.
I could describe myself by the technologies I use, but I'm more interested in understanding why things work, where they break, and how to build them better.
My work focuses on software design, backend engineering, AI systems, and infrastructure. I build the systems behind products: reliable APIs, performant backend services, intelligent workflows, and the infrastructure that helps software remain secure, observable, and maintainable over time.
Beyond software engineering, I explore AI, open-source tools, system experiments, competitive programming, and game development. I also enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring developers, and contributing to technology communities.
Engineering Focus
Designing systems with clear structure, honest trade-offs, and room to evolve.
Building APIs and services that stay reliable as they grow and under load.
Bringing LLMs, agents, and automation into software that people actually use.
Shipping securely, deploying reliably, and keeping things observable and stable.
Reducing friction so developers can spend time on what matters.
Considering security, reliability, and constraints throughout the software lifecycle.
