Software and AI engineer, health informatician, and registered pharmacist. I write about what I build and what I learn.

Heya! 👋 I love helping people, and one of the best ways I do this is by sharing what I learn and build. I started as a pharmacist at a tertiary hospital in Northern Ghana, where I saw how much technology could improve healthcare. That sparked my interest in digital health. I taught myself to code, then joined the ALX Software Engineering program, which became a turning point. I went on to complete a Master of Health Informatics at the University of Toronto. Today I am a software and AI engineer and a health informatician, and I practise remotely as a Digital Health Pharmacist. I combine clinical experience with technical skills to build tools that solve real problems in health and beyond, and I write here about what I build and what I learn.
