Building the Future,
One System at a Time

I'm a Full Stack Developer and UI/UX Designer based in Ghana, and the founder of TechTide Stratum, a technology startup focused on building impactful digital solutions for communities and organizations.

I build software that makes real differences in people's lives. From civic tech that empowers communities to report local hazards, to AI-powered systems that help city governments filter out false emergency reports. I participated in the Gen AI Hackathon 2026 and built a system for the City of Montgomery using Claude AI alongside other modern tools.

I am currently studying BSc Software Engineering at Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU), where I started in 2023 and am currently in my third year. I plan to complete my degree in 2027, and every year I have been building real projects alongside my studies to keep growing as a developer.

I thrive at the intersection of beautiful design and solid engineering. Whether it is a polished React frontend, a resilient Django backend, or a real-time distributed system, I bring it all together with care and intention. I am also currently learning mobile app development and working towards building the first app for TechTide Stratum — more coming soon! 🚀
