About Me
Fullstack developer with a unique physics background bringing analytical problem-solving to web development
Professional Summary
Full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of professional experience designing, building, and shipping real-world web applications at enterprise scale. I specialize in Python/Django backends, React/Next.js frontends, and cloud deployments on AWS and Azure.
I have delivered 10+ live production platforms — including government and university LMS systems serving thousands of users across Ghana — working directly with clients and institutional stakeholders to translate complex requirements into robust, maintainable software. I am comfortable across the full stack: equally confident architecting backend service layers, building component-driven frontends, or deploying and managing cloud infrastructure.
In my daily workflow I actively leverage AI-assisted development tools and have extensive experience integrating AI capabilities into production applications. I am fully remote-ready, time zone-flexible, and thrive in collaborative, consultancy-style team environments.
