My Journey

Led a team of 8 boys in the World Smarts STEM Challenge. We researched the effects of 'dumsor' (Ghana's power outages) on our school and community, built a working prototype mat using piezoelectric energy to convert footsteps into electricity, and collaborated with teammates at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in Washington DC. We were selected as finalists and would later travel to DC in 2017.

President of the Peer Counsellors Club — co-ordinated orientation for 600+ new students using drama and interactive sessions on mental health, anger management, and study habits. Vice President of the Science & Environmental Club. Secretary and Protocol of Nana Wereko Ampem II Hall. The start of a long relationship with leadership.

Travelled to Washington DC for the World Smarts Contest and Showcase — we came 2nd place finalists. Graduated from Accra Academy with General Science (Physics, Chemistry, Elective Maths, Elective ICT). Joined the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) Junior Academy. Started volunteering to teach STEM to Junior High School students.

Gained admission into the University of Ghana, Legon to read BSc. Mathematical Sciences (later switching to Computer Science). Also took my first paid job as a pre-school teacher — and also volunteered to teach STEM. It's one of the roles that's had the most lasting impact on who I've become.

Received the UG Tullow Tertiary Scholarship — a pivotal source of funding for my education, and something I remain deeply grateful for. Mentored teams as a SAGE Ghana mentor for the National High School Entrepreneurship Competition. Started graphic design at the end of 2019. What a journey it has been.

Got into the 2nd Cohort of the Central Leadership Program — one of the most transformative things I've done. Curriculum covered Faith, Self-understanding, Competency Building, Leadership, Leading Change, and African History & Context. Mentorship and guest speaker interactions rounded it off.

Became Ambassador for the Huawei ICT Academy at the University of Ghana — creating awareness, guiding students through course progressions, and serving as liaison between the Academy and UG. Ended the year as Joint Best Ambassador for Ghana.

Selected as one of Ghana's Seeds for the Future by Huawei — gaining exposure to 5G, Cloud Computing, and AI, and what it means to lead in STEM in the 21st century. Ranked top 10 in Ghana in Huawei's 5G certification exam.

Graduated from the Central Leadership Program with the status of Beacon of Excellence. Also awarded most helpful fellow in social media and design.

Joined Poimen as graphic designer, creating artworks that capture their brand messaging as a life coaching organisation. Worked as Digital Marketer for Elite Outlet. Volunteered as designer for UG Parliament House and the UG Mathematics Society. Came 3rd in the Trestle Academy Object Detection Hackathon with a team of 5.

Started National Service at Huawei Ghana in the Public Relations department — my first major foray into PR after years in STEM and design. Excited to see where it would lead.

Handed over my role as Huawei ICT Academy Ambassador, UG with the following awards: 2nd Best Ambassadors (South African Region), Best Ambassadors (Ghana), Best ICT Academy — University of Ghana.

Joined AfHEA as Graphic Designer & Social Media Manager — providing total coverage for the 6th AfHEA Biennial Scientific Conference across social, web, and print. Interned as Graphic Designer for the Ghana Green Building Summit. Volunteered again for Huawei Seeds for the Future as an alumnus.

Applied for and failed the Total Energies Startupper Challenge. Almost got into the MEST EIT program, but was disqualified because I was still a student. That one still stings — thank you COVID for the delayed graduation date.

Ended National Service and launched my career at Huawei Ghana as a Public Relations Specialist. One of the key projects: the 2023 Huawei Sustainability Forum.

Launched Eyram's Ponder, my newsletter to share thoughts with interested subscribers. The focus was never numbers — it was an outlet. A way to think out loud, consistently.

An issue with one of my courses meant I couldn't graduate from the University of Ghana that year. Frustrating. But I kept going.

Finally graduated from the University of Ghana with a BSc in Computer Science. It took longer than expected. But I got there. Worth every frustrating moment.

Named Best Content Strategist at Blossom Academy's Digital Marketing Programme.

Began MBA in Corporate Governance. Joined Infinite Potential Africa as Operations and Design Lead.

After years of thinking, writing, and questioning — I wrote it down. My first book. A journal of ideas about Africa's future, written by someone still figuring out his own.
