I am a Software Engineer working at mPedigree in the department of Psynthax. I have the privilege of leading a talented team of engineers in architecting and developing secure trust systems. Our mission is to build platforms that serve as the dependable bridge between parties who may not inherently trust each other, safeguarding digital exchanges and records from tampering, forgery, and counterfeiting. My role involves the design, development, meticulous testing, and maintenance of resilient and reliable commercial software applications.

I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (First Class) degree from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. After my undergraduate education, I served as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Computer Engineering for a year in the same institution.

I am interested in interdisciplinary research in the areas of Software Engineering, Programming Languages, Information Security, Blockchain Technology, Cryptography, and Distributed Computing. I am open to learning and collaborating with others on interesting projects. Please reach out to me via email if you wish to collaborate on any fascinating projects.
