Open to internships, placements and professional opportunities in engineering and tech.

About

Engineering problems worth solving

I'm Zac - a Top 40 Finalist for Black Heritage Undergraduate of the Year 2026 and Best and Most Hardworking Student at Stanmore College. I relocated from Ghana to the UK in 2022, earned a triple Distinction in engineering and now study Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Aston University.

My late father was a mechanical engineer. His words - “Always strive to make things better” - still drive everything I build. I work across the full stack: from bare-metal firmware and PCB design to AI/ML and full-stack web, with a particular focus on accessible technology and systems that matter in the real world.
