Originally from Ghana, West Africa, my journey into computer science began in my childhood. Growing up, my fascination with technology only deepened as I progressed through school.
Discovering HBO's Silicon Valley™ during my formative years ignited a passion for computer science and programming that shaped my career trajectory.
This led me to pursue my dreams in the United States, despite leaving behind the familiar.
Overcoming challenges with determination and resilience, I emerged stronger, now proud to be a Software Developer contributing to the dynamic field of technology.
Beyond my career, I enjoy exploring fashion, photography, playing video games, and spending time with loved ones.
