Story
I grew up in Accra, Ghana — curious about everything, patient about nothing. Somewhere between breaking things and figuring out why they broke, I became a developer. Not through a straight line. Through late nights, dead ends, and the slow realization that the ability to build software is one of the strangest and most powerful things a person can have.
The turning point was a problem that had no solution I could find. So I built one. That experience — of looking around, noticing a gap, and deciding to fill it — became the lens through which I approach everything. Not waiting to be asked. Not building for the resume. Building because the thing needs to exist.
Three years in, across the full stack — Django, FastAPI, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, DevOps — and I still feel like I'm just getting started. The tools change. The instinct doesn't. I'm based in Accra. Always thinking about what to build next.
Belief
“Software development is like childbirth. It'll cost you now. You reap years later.”
