I manage the Google Career Certificate Scholarship Program under Grow with Google, which is an initiative that helps to ensure that the opportunities created by technology are available to everyone. The goal is to help people get the right skills to find jobs, advance their careers and grow their businesses through tools and training. I also manage Meta's 'My Digital World' Program in Ghana, designed to help enable the safe, responsible, and beneficial use of Meta's platforms. The aim is to allow the youth, teachers, parents, and the general public to learn adequate skills needed to navigate and understand the online space and better their skills on online safety, news and media literacy, privacy, digital citizenship, and more.

The main aim of the project is to provide an effective way of reducing road accidents caused by cars wrongly parked and also damaged vehicles also abandoned along the various road stretches found in the country. My team achieved this by using modern communication tools to build a device that will be used in vehicles. When triggered it takes the coordinates at that particular time, compares with coordinates of other vehicles with the device to see if they fall within a 1000m radius, and then displays those coordinates on a map to alert road users.
