Mamadou Baillo Diallo

Mamadou Baillo Diallo is the CEO and co-founder of SmarTrack and Kaalissy, and a founding member of the engineering studio Sini Africa. He designs and ships products combining software, artificial intelligence and embedded systems, from the first line of code through to production.

At SmarTrack he leads a team of six and a livestock-tracking platform that runs from LoRa sensor collars to the mobile app, with early disease detection by AI and alerts read aloud in local languages for herders who cannot read. At Kaalissy he is building offline-first personal finance for West Africa’s informal economy, now in public beta.

His AI work is published as open demos on Hugging Face Spaces. SmarTrack was named a laureate of the Africa Engineering Summit 2026 and placed third nationally in the Orange Summer Challenge 2025. He holds a professional bachelor’s degree in software engineering from Université Nongo Conakry and lives in Conakry, Guinea.

What he builds

SmarTrack, CEO and co-founder

Since July 2025

  • Cuts theft, loss and disputes with farmers whose fields were being trampled: geolocation, geofencing and an alert the moment an animal leaves its zone.
  • Early disease detection from vital signs read by the collars, where herders previously found out only once it was too late.
  • Alerts read aloud in local languages, for herders who cannot read.
  • End-to-end platform: web administration, mobile application, real-time MQTT and WebSocket ingestion over LoRa and GSM.
  • Leads a team of six, across software and hardware.

Kaalissy, CEO and co-founder

Since January 2026

  • Removes manual entry, the main barrier to adoption: receipts read from photos, voice input, automatic categorisation, adaptive budgets and recommendations.
  • Digitises practices kept on paper until now: tontines, loans between relatives with reminders, savings and planning.
  • Offline-first mobile: fully usable with no connection, then syncing when the network returns. Now in public beta.
  • Backend, AI services and Redis self-hosted on Hetzner servers under Coolify.

Sini Africa, Founding member

Since July 2026

  • Products combining software, embedded systems and robotics: application architecture, hardware prototyping and field deployment.
  • Lead instructor of an introductory web masterclass: 25 complete beginners trained for FATA.SCHOOL, each leaving with a portfolio online.
