Dickson Boateng

Software Developer

Hi, I‘m Dickson—a Software Developer from Ghana. My tech journey began in 2012, when my father surprised my younger brother and me with our first computer.

At first, we just used it to play various computer games, but that early exposure to a home computer soon sparked a fascination that led me to explore programming.

Today, I specialize in building responsive, user-friendly web applications with modern technologies such as Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, and Prisma.
