What I Work On

  • EdTech & Computational Thinking: Interactive learning apps, coding games and project based robotics curricula that teach sequencing, logic, debugging and sensor integration.
  • Full Stack Charity Operations: Production intranets, offline first mobile apps and multilingual public forms supporting daily operations in the UK and Ghana (312 learner records, 2,564 attendance records and 176 sessions logged).
  • AI & Workflow Automation: End to end n8n pipelines, AI assisted grant and content tools grounded in organisational context, and bilingual AI evaluation rubrics.
