BADINI Rachid Rodrigue

Architecting a mission-critical Django platform for AICB, a major national institution in Burkina Faso, following Django best practices and Clean Code principles.

• Multi-tenant architecture: Designed a critical application for AICB with rigorous Django best practices and Clean Code.
• Dynamic forms & mass ingestion: Built a robust dynamic form management system supporting concurrent CSV imports of 200,000+ rows per file.
• High-throughput optimization: Identified PostgreSQL bottlenecks (connection pooling, N+1 queries). Refactored queries and connection pooling, reducing 10,000-row ingestion from 67s to 0.7s (96% improvement), processing 185,862 rows in 14s with no accumulation.
• Async architecture: Implemented Redis and Celery for background task processing, decoupling long-running data operations from the request-response cycle.
• Observability & monitoring: Built custom instrumentation for CSV ingestion exposed via a /metrics endpoint, with custom Grafana dashboards for actionable optimization insights.
• Stakeholder communication: Primary technical contact with AICB stakeholders, driving requirements gathering and technical advisory.

Developed robust, multithreaded C/C++ systems software for ticketing equipment operating in constrained environments.

• Low-level system software: Built robust, multithreaded C/C++ modules for ticketing equipment in resource-constrained environments.
• Feature & UI implementation: Delivered new features and UIs per strict specification documents.
• Proprietary protocol debugging: Learned and debugged a proprietary network protocol to ensure correct system behavior.
• Design collaboration: Discussed and refined design choices with the team to ensure robust and maintainable solutions.
• Bug fixing: Resolved interface and low-level bugs to improve system stability and user experience.
• Cloud & tools: Used Microsoft Azure for deployments and bug tracking.

Led a Django/DRF platform scaled to 50,000+ daily API requests with P95 response times under 200ms, alongside a React/Next.js frontend.

• Scalability: Scaled a Django/DRF platform to 50,000+ daily API requests with P95 response times under 200ms.
• Frontend development: Built reactive interfaces with React/Next.js and managed complex state transitions via Hooks and modern form libraries.
• Infrastructure: Provisioned AWS infrastructure with Terraform, orchestrated containers via Kubernetes, and set up GitHub Actions CI/CD for automated, reproducible deployments.
• Observability: Deployed Prometheus and Grafana for real-time monitoring and system performance metrics.
• Leadership: Mentored a cross-functional team of 4 engineers and led SCRUM ceremonies.

Shipped secure financial features across React, React Native, Python, MySQL, and Redis in a FinTech environment handling 10,000+ monthly transactions.

• Financial systems: Built secure, ACID-compliant financial APIs handling 10,000+ monthly transactions.
• Fullstack delivery: Delivered features across web (React) and mobile (React Native/TypeScript) with a focus on performance optimization and rapid iteration.
• Architecture: Designed a decoupled modular monolith using the Repository Pattern and dependency injection.
• Optimization: Increased throughput by 40% through Redis caching strategy and PostgreSQL query optimization.
• CI/CD: Configured GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines for automated, reproducible deployments.

Built web and mobile software for a streaming platform with React, React Native, Node.js, and GraphQL, supporting 5,000+ simultaneous users.

• High concurrency: Developed Node.js + TypeScript + GraphQL services for a streaming platform supporting 5,000+ simultaneous users.
• Frontend development: Built reactive web UIs with React and mobile apps with React Native and TypeScript.
• Reliability: Integrated comprehensive test suites (PyTest, Cypress, Jest) into automated pipelines, achieving 85% code coverage.
• Efficiency: Reduced API response times by 45% through connection pool sizing adjustments and query optimization.

Infrastructure-focused internship working on Linux systems, high-availability architecture, and network monitoring.

• Kernel optimization: Customized and recompiled Linux kernels for specific driver support and security hardening.
• Network monitoring: Monitored a national network with NAGIOS to ensure infrastructure availability and rapid incident response.

Delivered client products across betting, healthcare, delivery, real estate, and internal tooling alongside long-term roles.

• PMUB (React Native): Built a horse racing betting platform with real-time WebSocket data flows and secure payment integrations.
• Songre — EliteApp (React Native): Architected a multi-service super-app (Jobs, E-commerce, Medical, Delivery) managing multiple user roles (clients, vendors, delivery, admins).
• Allo Youri (Flutter & Web): Built a delivery platform with real-time GPS tracking (Maps API) and a responsive landing page.
• Les Genets (Flutter): Developed a medical app offering teleconsultations, SOS services, and medical record management.
• AppShare (React Native & Go): Designed an APK distribution tool with a robust Go backend for versioning and binary sharing.
• Dom Immo (Next.js): Built a high-performance UI for an AI-powered real estate platform.
