Computer Science Student at KNUST

Backend-focused developer specializing in Django and Python, building scalable systems with modern architecture.

About Me

I am a Computer Science student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a strong interest in backend development and system design. I focus on building structured, reliable, and scalable solutions through both academic and personal projects.


My core expertise is in Python and Django, where I develop RESTful APIs, design database-driven applications, and implement clean, maintainable architectures. I have built systems such as a warehouse management platform and a video conferencing application, applying practical problem-solving skills throughout.


In addition to development, I have experience in teaching at the basic and junior high levels, as well as guiding peers in programming concepts including C++, web development, and software fundamentals. I aim to continuously improve my technical depth while building solutions that are practical and impactful.
