I'm a Software Engineer and founder based in Accra, Ghana, studying Information Technology (Level 300) at the University of Ghana. I build technology focused on solving real African urban problems — from smart transit systems to AI-powered civic platforms.
I'm the CEO & Co-Founder of VolteRyde, a smart urban mobility platform revolutionizing public transit in Ghana through electric buses, real-time tracking, and seamless commuter booking. Alongside that, I do digital marketing at WebBeezWork and am active in communities like Google Developers Club, COMPSSA, Enactus UG, and SEN.
