Dickson Boateng
Software Developer
My tech journey started when our parents bought a home computer for my younger brother and me.
We used it mostly to play games, but those early experiences gradually pulled me toward programming.
Today I build full-stack web applications with React and Next.js on the frontend, and Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL on the backend.
