What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote AI systems, full-stack engineering, technical product leadership, and research-adjacent roles. I bring founder-level product judgment and hands-on experience with Python, Go, TypeScript, Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Redis, taking dependable products from architecture through deployment.

I'm a Ghanaian technology founder, software engineer, and researcher working across agricultural infrastructure, accessibility, and AI evaluation.

As Co-Founder and CEO of MechLink LTD, I lead product direction, technical architecture, partnerships, and field operations. MechAfrica connects 21,759 registered farmers and 3,554 service providers across nine regions of Ghana through mobile applications, USSD, SMS, and Mobile Money.

I founded Optomus, a multi-tenant AI orchestration platform for content planning, generation, approvals, publishing, engagement, analytics, and lead qualification. My wider work includes the Euodia Consulting platform, Boafo accessibility products deployed across 100+ websites, CampSafe, and Hostella, which supports 4,000+ students.

I build across Python, Go, TypeScript, Next.js, React Native, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, and offline-first architectures. I bring hands-on engineering, technical product leadership, project management, teaching, and mentorship experience.

I hold a First Class Honours BSc in Computer Science from KNUST. My research focuses on reliable AI evaluation, African-language AI, and inclusive systems. I am a co-author of two 2026 arXiv preprints, with manuscripts under review at TACL and ACL Rolling Review.
