Developer by trade, photographer by desire.

I'm Kenneth — a senior full stack mobile and web developer currently based in Accra, Ghana. My work spans the whole lifecycle of a product: wireframing the first screens, building the apps people hold, and running the backends behind them.

When I'm not shipping software, I'm out with my trusted Sony A7 IV. Photography taught me to pay attention to light, framing, and timing — the same instincts that make an interface feel right. The two practices feed each other more than they compete. As an example, the flexibility of a zoom lens broadly shaped how I choose tech stacks.
