Hi, I'm Enoch
Software Engineer & Security-Focused Developer
Richmond, VA
About Me
Detail-oriented Computer Science graduate (M.S., VCU) with a strong foundation in information security, backend development, and technical documentation. Experienced in building secure, scalable systems using Java, Python, and cloud infrastructure. Actively pursuing Google Cybersecurity Certificate (May 2026). Authorized to work in the US — no sponsorship required.
My primary focus is on designing reliable, high-performance backend services and crafting clean, well-documented APIs. I care deeply about the entire software lifecycle, emphasizing secure coding practices, code quality, system performance, and deploying with confidence using Docker and CI/CD pipelines. I am also actively expanding my knowledge in information security, compliance frameworks, and cloud infrastructure.
Originally from Ghana, now based in Richmond, VA. Outside of coding, I stay balanced and inspired by playing soccer and through photography, which trains my eye for detail and composition. I am always eager to connect, collaborate, and contribute to meaningful projects.
