Hey, I'm Frank 👋

Backend engineer by day, builder by night. I write Python and C# professionally, and I'm working my way through Rust because I like understanding how things work at the bottom.

Former Physics teacher — that background never really left. It shapes how I think about problems, what I build, and why I started Iotabyt.


What I'm building

Iotabyt — my indie software company, building developer tools and edtech for the African market.

Currently heads down building. More details soon.

data       = ["PostgreSQL", "Redis", "Kafka"]
tools      = ["uv", "ruff", "Docker", "Coolify", "Hetzner"]

Day job

Backend engineer at Hubtel — Ghana's leading payments and commerce platform. I work on the QuickCommerce microservices platform in C# and .NET.


Open source

A few things I've shipped:

  • django-frontier — scaffold your Django frontend (React, Vue, Tailwind, Bootstrap) with a single command
  • flexy-orm — tiny flexible database wrapper for PHP-PDO
  • simpleurl — basic URL shortener in Flask

More coming — WAEC/BECE past questions API, Python wrappers for African fintech APIs, and whatever else I find myself needing that doesn't exist yet.


Background

Physics teacher → software engineer. Based in Takoradi, Ghana. Working remotely.

I taught physics for years before moving into software full time. That shift wasn't accidental — I was always more interested in how things work than in following instructions. Teaching physics gave me a systems-thinking instinct that I find useful every day as an engineer.

I play piano badly, take mathematics seriously, and believe West Africa is about to have a significant developer moment.
