I'm a ghanaian (born & raised) technologist living in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I studied computer engineering for a few years.
I recently worked as a platform product engineer at fly.io, and before that I worked as a software engineer for 7 years.
I'm fascinated by arts, philosophy, sociology and how they intersect with tech to progress society.
I'm a structuralist. It's the best way to make sense of the coordination problem we call society.
Last year, I spent 110k mins listening to 6700 songs and 3100 artists. Regardless, I prefer ghanaian hilife and the experimental fusion of electronic patterns and old african music.
I like running. 5,10 & 15 km runs are my jam.
