👋 Hey there! I’m Mel Sardes


🧑‍💻 Kotlin developer from this tiny, almost mythical place called Gabon — the land of breathtaking nature, vibrant culture, and surprisingly few Kotlin devs.

💥 Most days, I’m bravely writing code that somehow crashes the very server I’m supposed to manage.

🧠 To survive, I dive into design patterns, DSA, and Clean Architecture—mostly to fix a typo in production without looking like a complete amateur.

📱 I build modern Android apps with Jetpack Compose, craft solid REST APIs using Spring Boot (in Kotlin, of course), and hook everything together with CI/CD pipelines that break only 93% of the time.

🛰️ Sometimes the problem is in my code. Sometimes it’s just Gabonese internet doing its thing. I’ve stopped trying to tell the difference.

🔁 I refactor things that were working yesterday, automate things no one asked for, and fight with Gradle until one of us gives up.

🧩 Still learning.
🚀 Still shipping.
🛠️ Still building — one broken build at a time.

But make no mistake:

🔥 From the depths of the stack trace to the unreliable power grid of Libreville,
⚔️ I rise — patch by patch, pull request by pull request —
🦾 To craft clean code in a chaotic world.

👑 This is not just development.

👉 This is DevOps meets survival mode. Welcome to the jungle. 🌴
