About Jermaine Antwi
hello, akwaaba
I've been into computers since before I could really speak. That turned into freelance web and design work at 9, and by 12 I was the youngest graduate of Codetrain Africa's adult-level Software Engineering programme.
I'm currently a founding engineer and design lead at CediRates, Ghana's primary financial data platform, and I lead design and engineering on ChaleCheck, a social gaming platform I've built up from the ground up with a small team.
Most of what I do comes down to obsessing over the details other teams skip. How a currency converter handles an edge case. How a page loads on a bad connection. Those are usually the parts that decide whether people trust a product.
Originally from Ghana, based in London. I'm an Orwell Award Scholar, joining Eton College this September to study Maths, Computer Science, and Philosophy.
Take a look at work I've done.
