About

Engineering problems worth solving

I am Zac, an Electronic Engineering and Computer Science student at Aston University. I grew up in Ghana, relocated to the UK in 2022 and earned a triple Distinction in engineering, being recognised as Best and Most Hardworking Student at Stanmore College, before beginning my BEng at Aston. I work at the intersection of hardware and software, spanning embedded systems, machine learning and production web development.

My late father was a mechanical engineer. His words, “Always strive to make things better”, still guide everything I build. I focus on accessible technology and systems that serve real users, the kind of engineering that matters beyond the screen.

Let's work together

I am actively looking for internship and placement opportunities in engineering and technology. Whether you have a role, a project, a collaboration idea or just want to connect, I am always open to a conversation.
