How Emmanuel Cadet strengthened financial systems through smart technology design

Emmanuel Cadet has spent his career at the intersection of financial services and modern technology, a space that demands both innovation and strict control.

His journey from programmer to technology risk leader highlights how sound system design underpins secure digital banking.

Cadet completed a Master of Science in Computer Science at Maharishi University of Management in January 2019 while serving as Director of Technological Control and Business Continuity Planning at Sogebank in Haiti.

Managing academic work alongside the responsibility of safeguarding a major bank’s technology systems positioned him well to understand both theoretical computing principles and the practical demands of financial institutions.

At Sogebank, he worked on several systems that define the future of digital finance. Among the most significant was the B2W project, which enabled customers to move money between traditional bank accounts and mobile money wallets provided by telecom operators.

In countries where mobile money has become central to daily transactions, such connectivity is vital. Integrating banking systems with external mobile platforms requires considerable care.

Each system has its own authentication rules, data formats, and security protocols. Transactions must complete fully or reverse cleanly to avoid any loss or duplication of funds.

The platform also has to manage network interruptions, fraudulent attempts, and unexpected user behaviour without disrupting customer experience. Cadet’s oversight ensured these systems operated securely and consistently.

His academic work mirrored and strengthened this professional experience. Cadet built eArtShop, a shopping application built with Spring Boot and Angular, providing practical exposure to tools commonly used in modern banking interfaces.

He also created a Telecom Packages Management System using the MEAN stack, gaining hands-on experience with frameworks that financial institutions increasingly adopt as they modernise long-standing systems.

Other projects, including a JavaFX desktop application and a custom library framework, further reinforced his knowledge of secure system architecture, clean code structure, and user-centric design. Cadet also led Sogebank’s integration with Western Union, linking the global remittance network with the bank’s core systems.

This required detailed work on money transfer reconciliation, foreign exchange processes, regulatory reporting, and fraud monitoring. It allowed customers to send and receive Western Union transfers directly from their bank accounts, creating a more seamless experience.

His early years at the bank, from 2006 to 2011, laid the groundwork for later leadership. He developed systems that allowed customers to top up mobile phones with credit cards, built tools for loan management, and supported payment processing for NGOs.

These tasks strengthened his understanding of compliance, international transfers, and day-to-day banking operations. As Cadet prepares for opportunities in the United States, his blend of technical capability, risk management expertise, and academic grounding places him among the specialists pushing banking towards secure, interoperable digital platforms.
