What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-ready, secure AI and API platforms—especially in education. I want a team that values end-to-end ownership, accessibility, and measurable impact, where I can keep shipping reliable systems on modern cloud infrastructure.

I’m a full-stack engineer focused on building secure, scalable API systems and AI-driven applications end-to-end. I combine statistical modeling with production engineering to deliver reliable, high-impact products, especially in education.

At QKnow Avenir, I shipped production platforms used by 1,000+ students, integrating Gemini AI and deploying containerized services on GCP with high availability. I architected an AI-powered reading diagnostic platform with real-time reading accuracy scoring and automated assessment that used to be manual for teachers.

I also co-engineered an AI-powered BECE exam prep platform with a readiness tracker—building REST APIs, database schema, and auth to support structured curriculum delivery and extensible scoring. I drove cross-team API integrations (including with the Ghana Library Authority) to expand access across public library computer labs, and I secured the backend using Row-Level Security with no reported data breaches post-deployment.

Now, as Founder & Lead Developer at ReachOut, I’m architecting and launching an AI-assisted learning platform with audio curriculum delivery and a voice-first interface tailored to special people. My work has been shortlisted for the UNICEF GenU & Technovation AI Ventures Accelerator programme, and I’m excited to keep shipping accessible, measurable learning experiences.
