As an earthshot.studio builder, I'm exploring new applications of emerging tech + scienceacross areas of global healthcare.

- Progressed from intern to lead backend engineer, playing a pivotal role in translating system design into a scalable prototype for LiveSpaces' digital signage platform- Engineered core backend infrastructure using NodeJS- Developed and implemented an efficient scheduling algorithm, improving overall system performance- Translated business requirements.

Generative AI in the life sciences.

Offering programming workshops and mentorship to aspiring developers and students in Ghana, Africa

Ranked amongst the top 20% to do PhD-level machine learning research with researchers from Google, MIT, Genentech and Harvard Chan School of Public Health.Applying computational methods in Python and implementing custom computational workflows to identify drivers of disease progression using single-cell genomic analysisCollaborating closely with domain.

Developed a spatial–temporal transformer architecture which drastically improved the accuracy of a sign language translation model for healthcare applications and demonstrated superior performance in Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR) task compared to the state-of-the-art methods.Designed and implemented an optimized version of the model to run.

Facilitated weekly interactive lectures and labs which bridged the gap between theory and practice for students.
