In 2012, I served as the sole Technical Lead at Open Learning Exchange (OLE) Ghana, where I designed, developed, and deployed a pioneering digital education platform aimed at improving access to quality learning resources for underserved communities. I evaluated the specific infrastructural and technological challenges within rural and low-resource environments and architected a sustainable, offline-capable eLearning solution that could run without continuous internet connectivity.

As the lead technical developer, I designed the entire system architecture, integrated customized open-source LMS components, developed unique plugins and content delivery tools, and optimized the platform for low-bandwidth environments. I built user-friendly interfaces for educators and learners, ensuring that even first-time technology users could navigate the system easily. I also managed server setup, security hardening, local networking configurations, and database management, ensuring data integrity, user access control, and system scalability.

This groundbreaking work led to the solution being recognized with the All Children Reading (ACR) Grand Challenge Award in 2012, where it stood out among over 400 applicants globally. My technical leadership and innovative solution directly contributed to winning this prestigious award, positioning OLE Ghana’s project as a model for digital learning initiatives across developing regions.
