A money app that moves cedis between people in under two seconds, a commute service that sells the empty seat instead of the whole car, a land registry on the blockchain — and six months on the network that runs Ghana’s Parliament.
A money app for Africa. Transfers land with another Aza user in under two seconds at no fee, payments are sent inside the chat thread instead of through a payment link, and the whole thing sits on 256-bit AES with end-to-end encrypted messaging. It carries a mini-app hub, a developer platform and a set of merchants building on top of it — TradePay signs its users in with Aza.
Cars already leaving Kasoa, Adenta and Weija for town carry three empty seats. UpRide sells the seat rather than the car, matching riders to the Commute Partners already driving their corridor at a weekly price instead of a surged one. Matching runs backwards from the hour you have to arrive, and a digital pass, live tracking and in-app messaging keep the trip accountable without anyone trading phone numbers. Built for Mobility Hub Africa and running in Accra across eight pilot corridors, with a healthcare tier timed to hospital shift handover and Trek for intercity runs.
A land registry on the blockchain, built for a country where roughly 80% of land transactions carry no documentation. Titles become tokens, transfers are publicly verifiable, and every parcel sits on a map you can search. Records nobody can quietly edit is the whole point.
A marketplace with both sides built: buyers browse deals and pay from a wallet, sellers run a dashboard of revenue, orders and listings — and go live to sell in real time. It spans three runtimes, an Expo client, a Spring Boot API and Cloudflare Workers at the edge, from one repo on one deploy path.
Donations that release on delivery. Funds sit in milestone escrow and donors vote to unlock each stage, so money moves only when work lands.
Crop intelligence for farms: real-time monitoring through every stage of crop development, with predictive analytics and an AI analysis view behind a dashboard built for yield decisions.
One booking app for the whole trip: flights, buses, rides, hotels and packages in a single flow — down to arranging a chauffeur for visitors who would rather not drive.
An ADHD app for children that turns the hard part into a game: a daily path from mood check to task to focus session, with XP, streaks and challenges to keep going. Aimed at early detection and the small habits that help.
Personal finance that closes the loop: a running balance and quick actions on the home screen, budgets tracked by category with limits you can see filling up, and a monthly report that names where the money actually went. Receipt scanning included.
A moderation bot for OpenChat that does more than block. Ask it why a message was flagged and it explains what made the phrasing hurtful, then offers rewordings that keep the point but drop the sting. Built for the Internet Computer's Global Botathon in Motoko and Rust.
Job placement by proximity — matching people to work near where they actually live, rather than to listings scattered across a city they have to cross.
A workforce platform with two front doors: admins manage employees, schedules and performance, staff see their own dashboard, activity and leave. Built during a junior developer internship at Inpath Technologies in Accra.
The KNUST workshop build — a full canister app in Motoko, from empty directory to deployed.
A streaming client built to match Apple Music feature for feature, backend included — with the library curated around Ghanaian artists rather than whatever the global chart says.
A neural network trained to read facial features from subjects performing cognitive tasks, gathering evidence on how cognition and emotion track each other. Built for a PhD study at KNUST.
Messaging, voice calls and status in Dart on Firebase, with small games folded in. The CodeDay build that took Best in Class.
Everything since the first shipped project, plotted by quarter and coloured by discipline. Where bars line up in the same column the work ran at the same time — the first four months of 2025 carried three at once.

Point at a bar to read what it was. Pick a discipline to isolate it.
I’m a computer science student at KNUST in Kumasi, and I have spent the degree building things that leave the classroom — several of them now live. Payments and mobility products people can sign into, contracts in Solidity and Motoko, mobile apps in React Native and Flutter, models that read faces, six months keeping a parliamentary network standing, and an AWS certification picked up along the way.
The through-line is infrastructure people actually depend on — health, education, agriculture, money — built for the phones and the bandwidth that exist here rather than the ones in the demo. That constraint tends to make the software better.
Right now I am most interested in what decentralised systems can do for accountability: escrow that releases on delivery, donations that can be traced end to end, records nobody can quietly edit.
