Backend & Platform Engineering
Building scalable systems for global impact.
I build backend services and the infrastructure they run on. APIs, containers, pipelines, and the observability to know when something breaks.
Open to remote opportunities.
Selected systems and
infrastructure work.
FreshCart · AWS Platform and Release Pipeline
A production-shaped AWS environment built entirely as code, with a release pipeline where every risky step sits behind a gate.
Pivot Blueprint LMS · Kubernetes Deployment
A four-service learning platform deployed to Kubernetes with proper state handling and migration ordering.
Asset Management Platform
In-house platform for tracking and managing critical assets across business teams.
High-Performance File Processing Pipeline
Re-architected a file upload workflow to process large datasets in seconds, not minutes.
Teri Chatbot Backend
High-concurrency backend powering Telecel Ghana's customer support chatbot.
Tools I use in production.

Engineering Approach
How I work
Proof over assumption
A green pipeline doesn't mean a healthy service. I check the thing that actually tells the truth.
Everything as code
Infrastructure, policy, and releases live in version control. If it can drift, it can be caught.
Least privilege, tested
Permissions get verified, not assumed. Same for rollback paths.
