Backend Engineer/Ghana

Hey, I’m Edem.

I build the systems
behind the experience.

I’m a backend engineer working with Java, Spring Boot, and .NET. I build APIs, distributed systems, and tools that make developers’ lives a little easier.

I care about how things work underneath. Clear boundaries, dependable services, and the small decisions that make a system easier to live with.
