About Me

Accessibility Developer
& Rehab Specialist

I studied Disability and Rehabilitation at KNUST, but honestly the real education came from working directly with people — sitting with someone who can't access a form online, or watching a student with low vision try to navigate a webpage that was never built with them in mind. That stayed with me. It's why I started building.

I've been a Scrum Master at SecureTags Technologies and I build my own projects on the side — browser extensions, platforms for special needs schools, tools that are offline-first because not everyone has strong internet. I'm not trying to do everything. I just want the things I make to actually work for people who are usually left out.
