Full-Stack Product Engineer & Technical Founder
I help startups and ambitious businesses turn complex ideas into reliable web applications — from architecture and development to deployment and continuous improvement.
Four products that are live today, from a payment-heavy event platform to the software behind a network of medical laboratories — each with the problem, my role and dated, measurable outcomes.
Event platform for French-speaking Africa: paid-vote competitions with a live public leaderboard, QR ticketing delivered on WhatsApp and organizer payouts, all paid by Mobile Money. Designed, built and operated by one engineer, live since March 2026 with verifiable early traction.
Immigration guidance · consumer web app
Own product — in partnership with Inter Solutions Service
A bilingual web app that tells Cameroonians their real odds of moving abroad before they pay an intermediary for the answer: an adaptive questionnaire, a deterministic scoring engine covering 10 countries, and a paid report delivered as a PDF or on WhatsApp.
Confidential engagementHealthcare platform — multi-site laboratory network
Laboratoires SION — Cameroon
A platform for a network of eight medical laboratories that were each running an isolated copy of a legacy application, covering four distinct systems built by one engineer: the public website, a site-synchronisation layer, a commercial and accounting steering tool, and a lab-operations service now piloted at one site.
A furnished-rental discovery platform for Cameroon where the details that matter (access video, neighbourhood hotspots) are unlocked with tokens bought through Mobile Money. Designed, built and deployed by one person: a modular NestJS/GraphQL API, a Next.js front end, MongoDB transactions and a Traefik topology where nothing but the proxy is exposed.
Three ways to work together, with the same scope every time: understand the problem, make the technical decisions, ship to production and stay to improve it.
01
Build your MVP from idea to production.
You have a validated idea, or a product that needs to exist, and no technical team yet. I take it from requirements to a deployed, maintainable application that you own — frontend, backend, database, integrations and infrastructure.
02
Improve, stabilize and scale an existing product.
Your product is live but slows you down: recurring bugs, a fragile deployment, a feature nobody dares to touch, or an architecture that no longer fits. I join an existing codebase, understand it before changing it, and fix what hurts most first.
03
A technical partner before you need a full-time CTO.
Early-stage companies need technical decisions made well before they can justify a full-time CTO. I take that role on a recurring basis: architecture, priorities, delivery, and the technical side of conversations with partners, providers and future hires.
A working method rather than a methodology: five steps I follow on my own products and on client work alike.
I start by understanding the business problem, the users and what success actually means.
I turn the requirements into a clear technical approach and architecture.
I build iteratively, keeping the product usable and testable throughout the process.
I take care of deployment, infrastructure and production readiness.
I use feedback and real-world data to continuously improve the product.
I work across the whole chain — frontend, backend, data, infrastructure — in TypeScript first. Every item below is used in a product that is in production today.
I'm Durin Tasondock, a full-stack product engineer based in Cameroon, working remotely with founders and teams. Since 2022 I have shipped software for employers, clients and my own companies: an event platform with real payments, a long-running event-management SaaS, and the platform behind a network of medical laboratories.
I take products from problem to production and stay after launch. That covers architecture, code, infrastructure and the trade-offs in between — decided together with the people who own the business.
I've never met someone like Durin. At the very beginning, he was not the best technically, but very fast he proved that he could, and ended up carrying more and more weight for the company.
Collaborating with Durin was an absolute pleasure. He is literally a brother now.
Durin is someone we don't want to play with, because he is engaged in every aspect of a project and really values overall success rather than just personal accomplishment. Remarkable coder, but also very business oriented.
If every collaborator is as hard-working as Durin, I'm sure there will be no limit to what we can achieve. Let's build a dream team!
