Where I am

Day role

Software & QA Engineer

Ghana School of Law

I lead the QA function and write internal modules for student management, HR, and admissions.

Founder

Tilawa

Pre-launch · Solo build

A peer-to-peer voice learning platform for Qur’an students and verified teachers across Ghana.

Teaching

Volunteer instructor

Global Code · Recurring

Each programme cycle I teach software and computer engineering to Ghanaian university undergraduates.

02 Discipline

Full-stack engineer. I care about the parts of a system that decide whether it survives contact with real users.

In practice that means authentication, payment integrations, real-time channels, row-level security, and making sure every mutation is safe to retry. Most outages and most trust failures come from these places.

Build

Whole stack. Mobile clients, backend services, database design, deploys.

Test & verify

I write tests for security policies and business rules, not only happy-path logic.

Lead

Tech lead on the institutional delivery teams I work on.

Teach

I teach computer and software engineering to undergraduates in Ghana.

A peer-to-peer voice platform connecting Qur’an students to verified teachers in Ghana. Sister-to-sister and brother-to-brother access is enforced inside Postgres. Payments run on Paystack mobile money. No call audio is recorded. I designed and built every part of it.

NDA

I lead the QA function and engineer internal modules for student management, HR, and admissions at Ghana’s national institution for legal professional training. The work runs the day-to-day operations behind thousands of student records and cohort cycles each year.
