Paa Akwasi — personal portrait

My name is Addo Paa Akwasi Asiedu Addo, known as Paa Akwasi. I’m based in Kumasi, Ghana.

I’m interested in how software works from the interface people use to the backend and database behind it.

My projects combine hands-on development with academic learning. On GymConnect, I was the lead developer in a team of five, handling the core frontend, backend, database and authentication work. On BobaFits, I worked collaboratively as an Assistant Frontend Developer.

I’m continuing to develop my skills through programming projects, coursework and experimentation. Alongside software, I explore AI-assisted storytelling, digital content and marketing — additional ways to communicate ideas and understand the people using technology.
