Specializing in secure backend systems, OCR & AI-powered applications, and scalable cloud solutions using Spring Boot, React, Angular, Docker, Kafka, and AWS.
I’m Taher Ahmedou, a Mauritanian Backend & Full-Stack Developer and Master’s student in Cyber Security at SupNum Institute.
My background started with web development fundamentals and evolved towards building robust backend systems, secure APIs, and real-world applications using Spring Boot, React, and Next.js.
I’m passionate about the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, OCR technologies, and Cybersecurity, designing intelligent and secure systems.
Building complete applications from secure backend APIs to modern, performant frontend interfaces using Spring Boot, React, and Next.js.
Focused on secure-by-design principles, API protection, and vulnerability awareness through academic training and hands-on practice.
Designing intelligent document-processing pipelines combining OCR engines with AI models for structured data extraction.
Driven to contribute to the growing African tech ecosystem through research, engineering, and continuous learning.
A summary of my academic journey and professional certifications.
Focused on secure system design, network security, API hardening, authentication, and ethical hacking. Actively participating in CTF challenges and cybersecurity labs.
Comprehensive education in web development, backend systems, OCR applications, databases, and software engineering principles.
Academic and practical projects developed during my Licence and ongoing Master (M1) in Cyber Security.
