I solve problems by building things, and I learn by experimenting.

The short version

I’m a pharmacist turned software and AI engineer, and an entrepreneur. For as long as I can remember, friends and family have brought me their problems, from a health question to a business that needs a system. Building the answer is the part I love.

Where I’m from

I grew up in Aiyinasi, in the Nzema area of Ghana’s Western Region. My grandmother, Bozoma, taught me that the most powerful form of leadership is care, and the non-profit I founded at home carries her name.

Pharmacy and code

I’ve been writing code since 2013. I completed the six-year Doctor of Pharmacy at KNUST, graduating in 2020, and kept building throughout: an e-library for pharmacy students, a management system for our student association, and pharmacy software that working pharmacies paid for. I’ve been earning from these skills since 2018.

My first startup

In 2018, while still in pharmacy school, I started my first startup, GhStudentWallet: a marketplace where student entrepreneurs across Ghana could advertise their products and services. I also ran the Startup Journey Show, interviewing student entrepreneurs so their brands got seen and others could learn from their journeys, and made videos on doing business in school. When COVID hit, we couldn’t continue, so I turned the startup and its YouTube channel into Digital School Academy: free webinars and videos teaching digital skills, as part of my work at iKrate-Ghana. The channel, which I created in 2018, grew to more than 6,000 subscribers, and the Startup Journey Show interviews are still on it. It taught me that many young people are eager to learn but lack the right guidance, and a few changed the trajectory of their lives through those sessions. That lesson is part of why I later founded Bozoma Innovation Hub.

Learning in public

I started writing online in pharmacy school, and it never stopped. In 2021, while working as a pharmacist, I started Wapomu.com, a health blog that grew to more than 40,000 monthly visitors. I ran it actively until 2022 and posted occasionally until 2023. My YouTube channel began in pharmacy school with videos about the pharmacy profession; in 2022 I started posting coding tutorials. That year I studied software engineering at ALX Africa, and it changed the trajectory of my life. I documented the whole journey in public, what I learned, the challenges and the lessons, through articles, videos and posts on X, which is how my X audience grew. I also built a Telegram community of more than 1,000 people where I led peer-learning discussions. Over the years I’ve written about pharmacy, coding, careers and AI. Not every experiment lasted; each one taught me something. You can see them all in my experiments log.

The hospital

As a clinical pharmacist in internal medicine at Tamale Teaching Hospital, I saw patients let down by delayed communication, disconnected records and outdated tools. As I later wrote, “countless lives are lost simply because help comes too late.” I decided to work on the systems themselves.

Engineering, informatics and education

I earned the AWS Solutions Architect certification and completed ALX’s software engineering program. At ALX Africa I then designed and launched new software engineering programs, taught their first cohorts and was the lead subject matter expert for a Bachelor of Software Engineering degree. I completed the Executive Master of Health Informatics at the University of Toronto as a Mastercard Foundation Scholar. Today I teach undergraduate courses in software and AI engineering.

Building companies

I founded Ngoane Health Technology for community pharmacies in Ghana. I co-founded GRANTED and built its AI grant-management platform. I founded Bozoma Innovation Hub and lead its vision: creating opportunities for many young people in the region I come from, the kind of opportunities I didn’t have growing up. I also built Bozoma Learn, its offline-first learning platform that runs both self-paced and cohort-based programs, on Kora.js, the offline-first framework I created after pharmacies using Ngoane’s products asked for software that worked online and offline. In 2025 I founded Bozoma Labs, a venture to house the products I build through my experiments, with help from team members.

How I work

I start with the people and the workflow, not the technology. I prefer evidence to hype and small working systems to big plans, and I want AI to keep a person in control. I teach and I study machine learning in public, because explaining something is how I make sure I understand it.

Health

Health is where I started and the field I care about most deeply. It’s one place my experiments keep returning to, not the only one.
