Senior JavaScript Engineer
Prezly
2022 - Present
Upgraded newsroom themes to React 18 and Next.js 14, improved caching with Redis v5, and shipped performance improvements across customer-facing sites used globally.
Based in Ghana, working remotely with teams across Europe, Asia, and the US.
Full-stack web developer, incoming dad. I build things on the web and I'm excited about both.
I've spent 7+ years shipping SaaS, B2B, and e-commerce products with React, Next.js, Node.js, and AWS, mostly where product, frontend architecture, and performance meet. These days I'm also counting down to fatherhood.
Currently at Prezly, where I work on newsroom themes, platform performance, and frontend systems used by customers around the world.

How I like to work
I enjoy working with teams where engineering quality matters, product decisions are thoughtful, and shipping well is more important than shipping noisily.
I care about clear systems, maintainable code, and interfaces that feel calm and intentional for the people using them.
