My journey started with a passion for turning wrenches as a mechanic for dealerships like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Land Rover. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of how things work and the importance of precision and attention to detail – qualities that have seamlessly translated into my software engineering career.

Today, I'm Paakwesi, a passionate problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of technology and business solutions. Whether I'm helping build a client’s dream website, and software applications, optimizing logistics processes, or collaborating with diverse teams to achieve shared goals, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen to the table.

My passion for building and optimizing software has fueled my journey as a software engineer for the past 3 years. Throughout this time, I've honed my skills in collaboration, consistently delivering high-quality work through strong cross-functional teamwork and best practices. However, my drive extends beyond the realm of technology, as I've actively cultivated strategic thinking and collaborative approaches for over six years, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical expertise and broader business goals.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I actively seek opportunities to give back to the community. I find immense fulfillment in volunteering with groups like Drupal Midcamp and Plant Chicago, contributing my expertise and fostering a collaborative learning environment for others.

When I'm not tackling a technical challenge or lending a helping hand, you might find me exploring new technologies through workshops and conferences or simply connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. I believe in the power of collaboration, continuous learning, and using technology to make a positive impact on the world.
