My Journey

From Hardware Repair to Economic Theory.

My path to economics wasn't linear. During a gap year forced by financial constraints, I established a small mobile phone repair shop in Juaben. Handling complex firmware installations on Android devices sparked a lifelong fascination with technology's power to solve problems.

As a first-generation student, I transitioned to Economics at KNUST to combine this technical curiosity with a rigorous framework for addressing the socioeconomic barriers I witnessed in my community. Today, I use data science and advanced econometrics to bridge the gap between traditional theory and real-world impact.
