About Me

I’m a Software Engineer and Master’s student at the University of New Haven specializing in Applied AI, Distributed Systems, and Cloud Infrastructure. Currently serving as a Graduate Research Assistant at the SAIL Lab, I architect AI-powered systems for automated bid scoring and real-time analytics. Previously at KNUST, I scaled data pipelines to handle 50M+ monthly data points for 20,000+ active users. I am passionate about shipping reliable, user-centered software—ranging from backend microservices to intelligent, reinforcement learning–driven agents. I am actively seeking roles where I can build at scale and deliver impactful, AI-assisted products.
