About

// profile

I'm a software developer based in Accra, Ghana, with 7+ years of experience building production systems for education and enterprise. My work spans full-stack web development, backend APIs, cloud and serverless architecture, and automation.

I enjoy taking complex business problems, understanding the edge cases, and turning them into software that is reliable and maintainable. I have recently expanded that work into AI-assisted systems, NLP, testing, CI/CD, observability, and Dockerized applications.

Engineering notes

// lessons from production

I like documenting the engineering decisions behind the systems I build, especially the bugs and trade-offs that are easy to miss in a polished project description.

  • When a read replica returned the wrong number of coursesA production consistency issue caused by replication lag between writes and reads.
  • Migrating PHP services to AWS LambdaWhat changed when a legacy API moved to a serverless Node.js architecture.
  • Why query fanouts improve grounded AI workflowsBreaking one question into targeted searches and aggregating cited results.
  • Explainability over black-box AIDesigning DraftLint so users can see the issue, why it matters, and how to fix it.
