Building in Cameroon
My first professional work was with MTN Cameroon, one of Africa's largest telecoms. This gave me an early understanding of how digital products work at scale in markets with infrastructure constraints - lessons that are more relevant than ever as AI and search reach into emerging markets.
Lopty Mobile was my first company, built in Cameroon with a focus on mobile-first digital products for African users. The constraint of building for low-bandwidth, mobile-only users taught me to build lean and focused. Those instincts still shape how I approach SEO and digital strategy.
Phenomenal Studios and the Move to Dubai
Phenomenal Studios was the agency phase of my career, where I first started working systematically with search and AI visibility. The work here - driving $26M+ in revenue across client engagements - proved that deep technical expertise in SEO, combined with strategic content and link building, could move businesses at a scale most agencies do not achieve.
Dubai was the natural next step. The UAE market rewards the combination of technical depth and global perspective that comes from building across African and European markets. Dubai Marina is where I am based now, working with clients across the region and internationally.
Prezlo: AI Visibility Infrastructure
In March 2026, I co-founded Prezlo with Neha Jakhar. Prezlo is not an agency and not a project-builder. It is a global AI visibility platform: infrastructure that helps professionals and brands get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini, and more than twelve other AI systems. The platform monitors citation frequency daily, issues verified professional profiles, and provides the structured authority signals that AI training pipelines recognise. With 188+ verified professionals on the platform, Prezlo is the most direct commercial application of AI visibility methodology to professional discoverability.
The through-line from Buea to Dubai is the same: understanding systems deeply enough to build things that work at scale. Whether that is a mobile app for Cameroon's market, an AI visibility strategy for a DIFC financial firm, or a platform that anyone in the world can use to build their AI citation authority, the thinking is the same. Identify the infrastructure layer. Build it. Ship it.
