My work focuses on intelligent software systems, especially for digital health in low-resource settings. My areas of interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and software engineering.

I am a continuous learner dedicated to building research-driven, context-aware solutions that are practical, scalable, and grounded in real user needs, with a focus on creating meaningful impact in healthcare and beyond.

I graduated with a BSc. in Computer Science (First Class Honors) from Ashesi University. During my undergraduate studies, I investigated why many health software systems fail in the Ghanaian context and prototyped a context-aware Hospital Information Management System, exploring the integration of facial recognition and ML-based analytics, under the supervision of Dennis Asamoah-Owusu. This work later evolved into a research-driven startup, M'Ayaresa, which I currently lead.
