Meet Nicholas.
A self-taught engineer who believes in sharing knowledge.
His father, a devoted admirer of science and engineering, enrolled him in computer typing lessons as a boy and took him to cyber cafés to play educational games about space shuttles and the universe. Unable to afford a computer at home, the young Nicholas spent his evenings assisting café attendants simply for the chance to learn how computers worked. That curiosity became the foundation of a largely self-taught career.
He studied Business at Labone Senior High School, completed a series of computer forensics courses through edX, and earned a degree in ICT Education from the University of Education, Winneba, where he was named Best Student Programmer of the Year in 2022. His aunt, Mrs Bertha Emefa Kudomor, bore the full cost of his university education. In 2023 he founded Vesel Technologies, which today employs about ten people and delivers software to schools, businesses and individuals.
As an engineer, he has built large software-as-a-service platforms, including school management, Starlink voucher management, attendance and staff tracking, and pharmacy management systems. He has also taught about 1,500 university students as a teaching assistant.
