About

I am an experienced and highly accomplished IT consultant with over 12 years of expertise in various areas, including IT and business consultancy, career coaching, and project management. Throughout my career, I have successfully completed numerous projects and provided free consultations, gaining valuable experience and knowledge.

My proficiency lies in mobile application development, software engineering, and the review and evaluation of controls and computer systems’ security. I possess deep insights into data management and analysis, specifically in Python programming. With a strong focus on delivering results, I am skilled at conducting readiness assessments and estimating project outcomes, presenting findings in a logical and clear manner.

Currently, I am serving as a National IT Consultant to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP Ghana). In this role, I have actively contributed to vital projects such as the UNDP Accelerator Lab Network’s SDG Innovation Portal (Ghana Innovation Portal), a strategic initiative driving innovation for the future. As the world’s largest and fastest learning global network of Accelerator Labs, it comprises 91 labs supporting 115 countries, aiming to close the gap between current development practices and the rapidly changing world, Youth Plus Mobile Application, which serves as an HIV/AIDS resource app for young people living with HIV. Additionally, I have played a pivotal role in the development of the Business & Human Rights Web Portal for Ghana, a project managed by the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice in collaboration with esteemed partners like Oxfam Ghana, GIMPA, The Danish Institute for Human Rights, ActionAid, Unicef, and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
