About

A quiet builder, with a loud respect for the work.

I grew up fascinated by how things fit together — the boring miracle of one piece of code making someone's entire afternoon disappear in the right way.

Today I'm a Senior Software Engineer at JS Morlu, a US-based accounting and advisory firm. My work sits at the intersection of finance and engineering: building the internal platforms, automations, and audit tools that turn complicated regulatory work into something a small team can actually do well.

I hold a B.Sc. from HECM, was honored with the King of Code (Mfumu Code) award, and have spent years learning that the best engineering decision is usually the one that lets a teammate ship safely on a Friday.

"Software is just a way of writing down decisions you'd otherwise make twice."

What drives me

The quiet satisfaction of building something that works so reliably, nobody notices it's there — and the team gets their evening back.

🏗️

How I build

Clear boundaries, observable systems, and test discipline that lets you sleep through a deploy.

🎓

Education

B.Sc. from HECM — Algorithms, systems, and the discipline of finishing what you start.

🌍

Where I work

Accra-based, serving clients in the Washington D.C. metro area and worldwide.

Three things I keep obsessing over.

🛠️

Systems that don't lie.

Designing application architectures that hold up to a real fiscal year — not a demo. Clear boundaries, observable seams, and the kind of test discipline that lets you sleep through a deploy.

Backend APIs Databases System Design
💼

Software a finance team trusts.

Translating regulatory and accounting reality into interfaces a non-engineer can move quickly through. The win condition is "they stopped opening Excel."

Audit Tools Automation Internal Platforms
🤝

Lifting the team around me.

Code reviews that teach, pairing sessions that stick, and a quiet insistence that "I don't know yet" is a respected sentence. The best senior engineers leave the team stronger than they found it.

From curious student to senior engineer.

Before

Software Engineer

JS Morlu LLC

Started as a contributor shipping features. Earned the senior title by consistently making the codebase a little better than I found it — and by being the person teammates pinged when something felt off.

Earned

King of Code — Mfumu Code Award

Recognition for engineering excellence

A community recognition for technical work and the quiet, consistent kind of building that doesn't always make headlines but makes products work.

Studied

Bachelor of Science

HECM

The foundation. Algorithms, systems, and the discipline of finishing what you start.

The most expensive software in the world is software no one wants to open. Build the kind people return to.
