What I've built, and the teams I've led.
Software engineering leads the way; leadership underpins it. Both are why I take end-to-end ownership of what I ship.
Software Engineering
Founder & Full-Stack Engineer
2024 — PresentFlayona
Designed and built a Ghana-focused e-commerce and FinTech platform end to end in vanilla PHP and MySQL — Paystack and Mobile Money payments, a Buy-Now-Pay-Later engine with credit scoring, KYC onboarding and four separate role portals.
- Built four distinct authenticated portals — customer, admin/staff, credit officer and distributor — each with its own login, 2FA and password-reset flow.
- Engineered a BNPL engine with credit scoring, digital contracts and a cron job that automatically charges instalments.
- Integrated Paystack (card) and Mobile Money, with signature-verified webhooks reconciling orders.
- Hardened the platform with CSRF protection, TOTP two-factor auth, KYC verification and full audit logging.

2024 — 2025Cloud-Based Maintenance Management System
Built OpFix, a cloud-based Maintenance Management System, as my BSc final-year project — a FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend and a React SPA, with role-based access, a multi-stage job workflow and full auditability.
- Modelled a multi-party workflow (store → admin → contractor → engineer → accounts) as an explicit job state machine.
- Enforced role-based access (Admin, Engineer, Client and more) with JWT auth, bcrypt hashing and TOTP 2FA.
- Added audit logging, file attachments, SLA tracking, KPI dashboards and Excel/PDF exports.
- Backed by SQLAlchemy + Alembic migrations, a pytest suite, and deployed on Render with Supabase Postgres.

Leadership
The experience that shaped how I take ownership and communicate.
Restaurant Supervisor / Team Lead
2019 — 2023Hospitality
Led front-of-house teams in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment — the experience that sharpened the ownership, communication and problem-solving I now bring to engineering.
- Coordinated and motivated teams during peak service, keeping standards high under pressure.
- Owned rotas, training and issue resolution — end-to-end responsibility for outcomes.
- Turned recurring operational pain points into repeatable processes.
- Built the customer-first, calm-under-pressure mindset that shapes how I ship software.
