Learn more about me

Software Engineer

I am primarily experienced in building and maintaining backend services, however, I have had some web and mobile development over the course of my learning journey. I have a massive bias for continuous learning, and take every opportunity as a new learning experience, whether professionally or personally. What you get from me is a curious learner, a hardworking teammate and positive energy :) I am from Ghana in West Africa 🇬🇭 and have an ultimate goal of owning my own software product.
