@kwekutech @TheDumbTechGuy I started engineering by dismantling gadgets as a kid. From the beginning, I couldn’t fix anything back. As I grew older I could fix many gadgets. And it went on and on. Now, I bring pieces of complex logic together to form working enterprise systems.

Most kids played with toys. Stefan Froelich(@TheDumbTechGuy) dismantled them. His friends had a name for him: Stefan the Destroyer. Because the boy could not just accept that something worked. He needed to know why. So he would open it. VCRs. Radios. Computers that ended up in more pieces than they started in. Half of them never went back together. All of them taught him something. That instinct never left him. It just found a bigger target. This story does not start with code. It starts in Tamale, at the University for Development Studies, where Stefan enrolled to study Agricultural Technology. His father in Germany sent him a small netbook. With that netbook and cafe internet, he started. Failed at C++. Got lost in Python. Then someone phished him. A friend sent a fake Facebook login page built in PHP. Stefan almost fell for it. Changed his password just in time, cornered the friend and asked one question: what language did you use? PHP. It changed everything. He taught himself. Blog by blog. Forum by forum. Building things nobody asked for just to see if he could. After university, he joined Fidelity Bank as a help desk officer. Password resets. Printer issues. 1,000 employees. While everyone else clocked out, Stefan kept building on the side, including an African music streaming app called Whisspa, before Deezer reached Ghana. It placed second at the MTN Apps Challenge 2.0, 2014. The market was not ready. He moved on. From @fidelitybankgh to IBM to Petra Trust, where he cut statement generation runtime from over a week to two hours. Then @Andela. Then Ginger as a senior engineer. Then the Ginger-Headspace merger, where he rose to Staff Engineer, the highest individual contributor level, on a mental health platform serving millions globally. From Tamale. From a help desk. From tutorials he could not understand. Simultaneously, back home in Accra, he was building @achievebypetra_ from scratch. The team, the architecture, all of it. Today: 500,000+ users, GHS 1.7 billion in transactions processed, and a Fintech CTO of the Year 2025 nomination. He has 71 open source projects on GitHub. He built Plutonium, a Rails framework designed from the ground up for AI-assisted development. He runs Radioactive Labs. He consults teams worldwide. He mentors developers through DevCongress. He runs a development firm from Accra. He named himself dumb so he would never stop learning. Stefan the Destroyer. Now building things that hold.

@sent_voice66150 You decided to call KT on live TV without his prior notice. When he started talking about the money you have taken from him, you decided to hang up when the conversation was getting interesting.

@sesigl Free

I interviewed over 70 front-end engineers in the last 2 years. I created a new Notion "Learn Frontend Development Pack" that contains a learning path & projects to become a frontend dev with only free resources. RT and reply with "free" and I'll DM it to you. (need to follow)

@quabenalefan @malisecullen His colleague actually prompted him but you go explain taya

@malisecullen You didn't get it😂 It was not the brcfo The questions either required some set of numbers or "no stationary point" I think after solving he realized the questions required no set of numbers. Anaa ago explain taya? 😂😂😂

Brofo y3 dru! The Amoateng guy from Prempeh sent Prof into a wild laughter 😂😂😭 these guys are good ! Prof said “There is no penalty for bad English” #NSMQQuarters #NSMQ23 #NSMQ

I’m excited to be part of the launch of the #AndelaTalentCloud - a groundbreaking, all-in-one, tech-enabled marketplace that provides AI-powered matching, access to a community of experts, assessments, and innovative job opportunities! #AndelaTalentCloud andela.com/blog-posts/acc…

⚛️ React tip: when conditionally rendering component based on some string enum (like a role), use an object to map enum values to components. This can be cleaner than using conditional operators, and it keeps the logic organized & clear.

@edemkumodzi 🤣🤣

@Elkobby Its funny how some designers feel what they design is final.
