What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build static, user-focused websites and support them with MySQL, using a data-informed approach. I want clear collaboration, real product problems, and room to grow into stronger data + software work.

I’m a Computer Science student and freelancer who builds static websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then backs them with practical MySQL database work. I bring a data-informed lens through my Harvard Online certification in Data Science Principles.

In my current role as a Website & Database Developer, I design and build a static site end-to-end, from initial brief through deployment planning (InfinityFree/Netlify). I also structure a normalized MySQL database using entity-relationship modeling and SQL querying, translating business operational needs into functional site and database features.

Before software, my background as an automotive electrician/programmer sharpened my troubleshooting mindset and attention to detail under time pressure. I work comfortably independently, learn new tools quickly, and communicate clearly in both English and Twi.
