PROFILE & SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

About Verla Berinyuy Ndey

Founder & CEO of DevSafe • Cybersecurity Major @ ICT University Yaoundé • From Bamenda, based in Yaoundé

I am Verla Berinyuy Ndey (popularly known online as Mr. DCT / DeepCodeThinking). I am the Founder & CEO of DevSafe, a student tech startup based in Yaoundé, Cameroon, originally from Bamenda.

Currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity at ICT University Yaoundé, my engineering discipline spans from low-level systems programming in Rust and C/C++ to scalable cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter/Dart and reactive web frontends in SvelteKit.

What sets my work apart is security-first architecture. Whether building live escrow payment engines for African commerce, gRPC microservices, or zero-account ephemeral chat apps, I approach every system with an ethical hacker’s eye for threat models, input validation, and memory safety.
