I had my first degree in Physics Education at the University of Education Winneba and also went to NIIT where I got my diploma in eTechnology (computer programming).

I got the experince with asterisk and trixbox working with Chale Groups.

I started the Linux user group in Winneba with the helped of Kafui a teacher at the ICT lab of the University of Education Winneba, I also helped in organizing workshop for student and teachers at the University. With my IT knowledge I got a vacation job with Pan African Teacher’s Center (PATC) at Togo where I have been going to African countries to teach Information Technology, mostly website designing and how teachers can use open source technologies to enhance education in Africa.

I do also help run a tour group with a sister from California, Shakira Williams for brothers and sisters from the diaspora mostly from USA, our resent group was YLI from America (NC). I also worked with Cultural Links to organised educational tours.

For my love for mother Ghana, I try to do all my best to help in anyway I could to promote the name of Ghana high. By so doing, I joined the Accra International Film Festival (AIFF) as their IT expect and webmaster. It is my wish to see Ghanaian movies celebrated all over the world and I’m certain this is the beginning of it.

If it come to my fun life, I love music and I do listen to them base on the situation and my mood, I do love movies as well, but I spent most of my time with my PC. Taking the position of Dip Entertainment Chairman of my hall at the University, Ghartey Hall I spent most time trying to help promote showbiz programs and technology shows for the hall. Taking about what I do at school, I came first with the help of Ali, a formal student at the university in the National what-do-you-know computer competition organized by AITI-KACE, 2005 on the nation’s TV.

I currently do freelancing for people who want a website and very soon my site will be back up for anyone who want me to do any website job for them but that does not mean you can’t still call on me if you have any job you want me to do.
