I'm a second-year Computer Engineering student at Virginia Tech with a focus on machine learning and an intended minor in Human-Computer Interaction. I am originally from Accra, Ghana and currently live in Northern Virginia, but my roots are proudly Ghanaian.

Outside the classroom, my main goal in every community I step into is to make a meaningful contribution, whether through music, volunteering, or research. I'm driven by a desire to develop technologies that increase awareness and accessibility in the lives of others. Here is a portfolio detailing my professional journey!
