About me

I grew up in Agogyikrom, a small village in the Western North Region, where fishing and hunting after school was a way of life. I lacked vision and topped my class without effort simply because the bar was low. Everything changed in Class 5. Moving to a new school, I met people who actually knew how to learn and had been taught the right way to do it. For the first time, things became tough, and I had to learn how to learn. This transition sparked a period of self discovery throughout my JHS years, eventually leading me to Sogakope where I served as Boys Prefect in JHS 3. After writing the BECE, I was admitted to Presec Legon. I still reflect on that journey: a village boy at Presec. At Presec, I was surrounded by the best of the best. It was a humbling and motivating environment that taught me a vital lesson: no matter how good you are, someone always knows something you do not. I challenged myself to be better every day, eventually serving as the Main Grounds Prefect and the Vice SRC Organizing Secretary. On Speech Day, I earned the Excellent Leadership Award and a prize of GHS 1,000. My progress continued at KNUST. By Level 100, I was organizing a two month Python bootcamp for my peers and serving as a Hall Representative. Before reaching Level 200, I was the Deputy Head of the Scholarship and Internship Committee for the Computer Science Society. In my second year, I registered NOLAP Technologies and built an AI powered learning platform. I won the MTN SME Accelerate at the Ashanti Fest, which was worth GHS 30,000, and delivered multiple software systems for various clients. I think in systems, I communicate with clients confidently, and I value the quality of my work. I am still a student, yet I am already established in business.
