From Public Health to Technology
A unique journey spanning healthcare delivery and software engineering
The Beginning
I started my career in public health with the Ghana Health Service, spending over 7 years on the frontlines of healthcare delivery. I digitized clinic reporting systems, analyzed epidemiological data, and implemented interventions that reduced malaria incidence by 40% in target communities.
The Transition
Driven by a passion for technology's transformative potential, I pivoted into software engineering — bringing with me a deep understanding of real-world problems, user needs, and the importance of data-driven decision making.
My Mission
Today, I build AI-native applications, cloud infrastructure, and secure systems that bridge the gap between technology and human impact. My unique background gives me a holistic, empathy-driven perspective that informs every line of code I write.
