About Me

I am a Computer Science student at Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU), a builder, and the co-founder of KENOL Tech. I enjoy turning thoughtful ideas into reliable products, whether that means shaping a clear user experience, designing a dependable backend, or keeping the infrastructure behind it running smoothly. My work spans cloud systems, web platforms, open-source tooling, and the many small decisions that make software feel simple to use.

As a Yango STEM Fellow, I care deeply about using technology to create practical opportunities across Africa, especially in education and access to useful digital services. I am happiest when I am learning something new, working with people who care about their craft, and shipping solutions that are both technically sound and genuinely helpful.
