About Me

I'm a Backend Developer from Ghana with a BSc in Computer Science. I specialize in building scalable server-side applications, designing robust APIs, and crafting efficient database architectures that power modern web applications.

My journey in software development has led me to work with industry-leading technologies like Java, Spring Boot, Golang, and Python. I have hands-on experience with databases like PostgreSQL and MySql, as well as modern infrastructure tools like Docker, Redis, and message queues.

"Great software is built on solid foundations. Every API, every database query, and every line of code contributes to the bigger picture."
