About

I am Kofi Gyasi — friends and colleagues call me Kay. I am a backend-focused engineer who cares about systems that work reliably in the real world.

I spend most of my time on architecture, delivery, and helping teams ship without losing sight of quality. I enjoy translating messy requirements into clear technical plans, mentoring engineers, and staying close enough to the code to debug production when it matters.

I believe backend engineering should serve outcomes for users and businesses, not just technical elegance for its own sake. I am growth-oriented, calm under pressure, and always learning.

Outside of work I listen to a lot of music — mostly on Spotify.

AWS and cloud architecture are central to how I design systems. I know the services that matter for backend platforms end-to-end from production work, and I keep that sharp when a side project calls for it.

I also explore ideas that can matter in Africa, including AnchorWorks, a marketplace concept for connecting people with trusted home and office service providers.
