Technical Leader bridging Code, Strategy, and Community
Building cloud-native enterprise systems with Jakarta EE and Spring Boot. Author of two Apress books, conference speaker, and educator reaching 20,000+ developers worldwide.
I'm a Java developer and product marketer based in Accra, Ghana. I build cloud-native enterprise systems with Jakarta EE and Spring Boot, write about it for Apress, and teach it to 20,000+ developers on Udemy. I've spoken at JavaLand, JDD Poland, and JakartaOne.
Currently at Azul Systems (Payara), driving developer adoption for the Jakarta EE runtime. I sit between engineering and audience, translating technical capability into clear communication that both developers and decision-makers can act on. I use generative AI to augment both software development and technical writing. Open to conference speaking, technical writing, and consulting engagements.
