What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a seasoned Back-End Developer with over 10 years of experience in backend software engineering and systems integration. My expertise lies in API development and database optimization, where I have successfully reduced loan processing times by 80% for the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve operational efficiency and enhance user experiences.

In my current role at the Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine, I led a team to deliver a clinical decision support system that integrates Large Language Models and WhatsApp for maternal diabetes care in Ghana. My commitment to quality is reflected in my code reviews, which have significantly reduced error rates. I am also proud of my achievements in automating data integration processes, achieving a 95% logging accuracy with InfluxDB.

As a founder of Eazi SMS Pro, I launched a bulk SMS service that has helped businesses and churches improve communication with their customers, increasing revenue by 20%. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and growth.
