About Jermaine Antwi

akwaaba👋

I was 9 when I started building things, mostly to fix problems of my own: a game to keep friends talking through lockdown, a periodic table so I'd actually learn chemistry. I've freelanced for businesses across all sorts of sectors ever since.

I joined Codetrain Africa's younger programme, moved up to the adult track and finished it early, becoming its youngest graduate at 12. Along the way I was mentored by several FAANG engineers.

These days I mentor Codetrain students myself, and some of them have gone on to land jobs in the industry. I also occasionally give talks there and help shape the curriculum.

Today I'm a founding engineer and design lead at CediRates, and I design and build ChaleCheck.

I'm from Ghana and live in London, where I'm an Orwell Award Scholar at Eton College studying Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science and Philosophy.

Here's some of what I've made.
