Full-stack web developer who builds responsive React apps and FastAPI REST services with a focus on performance and usability.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack web developer building and deploying responsive web applications using React and FastAPI. I focus on user-friendly interfaces, clean design, usability, and practical solutions aligned with business needs.
I design RESTful APIs, optimize application performance, and debug issues in production environments. I also build automation tools with Python to support operational workflows and improve reliability.
From my experience at Kofa Technologies Limited and GoExpress Company Limited, I’ve strengthened my troubleshooting, validation, and workflow documentation skills in live systems. My projects—like a React personal profile website, a FastAPI REST backend API, and a published Python CLI package—reflect my continuous drive to improve frontend design, system architecture, and modern web technologies.
