BENJAMIN KOOMSON
@benjaminkoomson
IT graduate skilled in full‑stack web development, APIs, and machine learning with strong problem‑solving focus.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated IT graduate specializing in full‑stack web development, API design, and practical machine learning solutions. I build dynamic web interfaces and backend systems, integrating third‑party APIs and databases to deliver functional, user‑focused applications.
My capstone and project work includes leading a team to develop a CNN plant disease classifier (98% accuracy) and collaborating on an AI health chatbot using OpenAI integrations and MySQL for data persistence. I have hands‑on experience troubleshooting integrations, designing database schemas, and deploying end‑to‑end features.
I bring reliability from service roles at the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority and instructional experience as an IT instructor, with strong communication, independent initiative, and a clear eagerness to learn cloud‑native tools like FastAPI and AWS to scale applications.
