About

I once waited 14 months to get paid on a completed contract. That experience, and 6 years as a freelance consultant in West Africa, led me to build Vokash, a blockchain marketplace that turns unpaid invoices into cash in 48 hours for African SMEs. By day, Global IT Project Manager at Zamapay (mobile money fintech, Burkina Faso). By night, solo technical founder( Django, Solidity, Flutter, ML scoring models). Based in Ouagadougou. Building for the $6.7B UEMOA receivables market.

VOKASH - Turns unpaid invoices into instant cash for SMEs.

African SMEs deliver work, send invoices, then wait. 60, 90, sometimes 180 days. Meanwhile, they can't pay suppliers or make payroll. The cash exists, it's just trapped. Vokash fixes this in 48 hours. Upload an invoice → AI verifies & scores it in 5 min → it's tokenized as an NFT on Polygon → an investor buys it at a small discount → the SME gets 90–95% of the value via bank transfer within 48h. Built for the $6.7B UEMOA receivables market. No collateral. No paperwork. No waiting.
