01 ~/about
whoami
hi, i'm jeffery
cat about.md
i'm a software engineer in Accra, happiest in the parts nobody notices — the infrastructure, pipelines, and unglamorous plumbing that quietly keep everything people actually use running.
day-to-day that's DevOps at Adaptive Computer Solutions: CI/CD, Kubernetes, observability — keeping production calm and quietly boring.
my degree is in metallurgical engineering from KNUST. software was a back-door entry — i taught myself after graduation, and turned out to be a fast learner with a stubborn appetite for figuring things out.
at night i'm picking up Ruby on Rails, exploring Pulumi, and getting deeper into LLMs. in my downtime: movies, anime, Gospel music, and the occasional acoustic guitar.
