Though I am a Pharmacist, my interests began from Open Source Software and Initiatives to my current passion of not just contributing to OpenStreetMap but making meaningful contributions that make OSM a solution to very real life scenarios. My current project aims to use OSM to solve the age old problem of locating places in my home country Ghana.
