I co-founded one of West Africa's first fintech companies, designed Ghana's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, and helped build the digital payments architecture behind a market processing an estimated $384.7 billion a year. Harvard Business Review, Der Spiegel, and The Africa Report have named me by name. I now bring that same architecture to boards, governments, and founders.
"In 2008, before Ghana had anything resembling a functional digital payments market, we sold scratch cards. We manufactured that bridge ourselves, because there was no other way through the gap."From my essay, "The $384.7 Billion Architecture"
I work at the intersection of multilateral investment, government mandate, and technology implementation: the layer that determines whether platforms scale, regulations permit, and national digital systems actually function.
Payment systems architecture, interoperability standards, and the regulatory scaffolding that lets fintech platforms scale nationally and across borders: the discipline behind DreamOval, the Ghana–Singapore Financial Trust Corridor, and Ghana's Payment Systems and Services Act.
Design of national digital and AI strategies, cabinet-level policy documentation, and regulatory sandbox frameworks: the discipline behind Ghana's National AI Strategy 2022–2033 and the Ghana Integrated Digital Transformation Blueprint.
Proprietary frameworks that translate research and invention into investable, market-ready ventures: IMVCM, RISCAM, and the Innovation Trust Corridor, deployed across five African countries under a UK Government-funded programme.

From founding a fintech company that now processes over a billion dollars a year, to architecting the national policy layer for Ghana's AI adoption. Full case studies on the Track Record page.
Founded from first principles and scaled to process over $1 billion in annual transactions. Built Slydepay, Ghana's pioneering consumer digital payments platform, and CocoaLink, a mobile agricultural advisory platform for 45,000+ cocoa farmers that lifted crop yields by 45.6% and was cited by the US State Department and featured by name in Harvard Business Review.
Co-authored and was designated Principal Architect of the national blueprint now referenced as foundational infrastructure in the World Bank's $200M Ghana Digital Acceleration Project (PAD4612 ↗): the sovereign roadmap for how Ghana's public institutions modernise together rather than in isolation.
How Ghana's Payment Systems Act created a market, not just a set of rules, and what regulatory orientation, not sequence, teaches other developing economies about building digital financial infrastructure that compounds.
