About meHere's my story.

I am a software engineer with a passion for creating remarkable digital experiences. With 3 years of experience, I excel in full stack web and application software development, specializing in Python, PHP, and JavaScript (TypeScript). My focus is on creating value for customers and stakeholders by leveraging technology. From product ideation to design, development, and launch, I ensure a comprehensive approach that exceeds customer expectations. With a strong background in software development, including front-end and back-end technologies, as well as software architecture and system design, I am committed to delivering high-quality and high-performing products that surpass customer expectations. My expertise extends to the domains of digital payments, eLearning, and eCommerce, which gives me valuable insights into the unique needs of these industries. I am driven by the desire to revolutionize the digital landscape and leave a lasting impact on those I serve

I’m currently working as a software developer at Broadspectrum Ghana where I help build fintech solutions. Our recent solution is the NEDCo power purchasing platform that serves over 2 million customers in Ghana.

While at Broadspecturm, I worked as a full-stack engineer at Kurz.ai where I helped build a scalable and progressive web application for learning practical CNC programming for the KELLER Group in Germany.

Prior to joining Broaspectrum, I worked as the software lead for the MEST Express startup Moreplex Company Ltd, where I helped architect the company's software architectures for its growing eSkills and eCommerce platforms. I also led the team to build an AI product recommender system. And more recently is the yet-to-be-launched AI assistant dermatologist.

I have built a couple of startups. Key among them is FarmSens, the next-generation smart soil sensors with real-time farm analytics. I spend most of my free time running and improving FarmSens. I also love to volunteer on a number of initiatives; giving back to my society, from teaching high school students Maths and Science to providing technical and business mentorship to budding entrepreneurs in Kumasi, Ghana.

I am fellow of the Resolution Group, USA. and the Jim Leech Mastercard Enterprenuership Programm at Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada.

You can find me on Twitter where I share tech-related tidbits and build in public, or you can follow me on GitHub.
