Final-year Business Information Technology student delivering web, automation, and BI solutions that drive measurable impact.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a self-motivated final-year Business Information Technology undergraduate at KNUST who combines a self-taught mindset with practical consulting and freelance experience. I rapidly learn new technologies — from front-end frameworks to Python automation — and apply them to solve real-world business problems.
My hands-on projects include automating YouTube-to-Spotify workflows, integrating payment gateways and CCTV systems for hospitality clients, and co-developing an in-memory analytics engine for SMEs. I have delivered responsive websites, Power BI dashboards, and end-to-end automation solutions that improved client engagement and operational efficiencies.
I am passionate about continuous upskilling, collaboration, and leveraging data-driven insights to deliver tangible impact while balancing academic commitments with technical work and client-focused outcomes.
