I am a passionate Software Engineer and Principal Consultant at Merito Solutions, with over 8 years of experience in delivering innovative software solutions that drive customer success. My expertise lies in developing web applications, tools, and workflows, alongside scoping requirements, managing projects, and delivering strategic solutions for our clients and partners. In my spare time, I am the founder of Ayikah Technologies, where I focus on custom software development, testing and QA consulting, software integration, and DevOps solutions. This endeavor allows me to pursue my entrepreneurial interests while continuously enhancing my skills in the tech industry. I hold dual master’s degrees in Computer Science from Georgia State University and Information Technology Management from Campbellsville University, providing me with a robust foundation in both technical and managerial aspects of software consulting. Outside of work, I stay active with CrossFit, Kickboxing and Yoga, enjoy traveling to new destinations, explore new cuisines, and love spending time with friends and family through cricket, badminton, chess, and board games.
