The engineer your project actually gets.
When you hire an agency, you pitch to a partner and get a junior. When you hire Mawussi Solutions, you get me — the engineer who builds identity frameworks, multi-tenant security services, and cloud platforms at Microsoft, personally scoping, writing, and shipping your code.
For 6+ years across Microsoft Threat Protection, Unified Security Intelligence, and Cloud + AI Security, I've shipped OAuth and RBAC frameworks, event-driven pipelines handling millions of submissions a day, and analyst tooling that made whole teams faster. Independently, I design and deploy complete products end to end: React and TypeScript, .NET and Go APIs, PostgreSQL, Auth0, real-time messaging, observability, CI/CD, and Azure or Cloudflare infrastructure.
Before Microsoft, I shipped full-stack features at Morgan Stanley and co-authored FPGA research published at ACM FPGA '20. I hold a 2026 graduate certificate in Cybersecurity from Johns Hopkins and a CS degree with High Distinction — and I work fluently in English, French, and Ewe.
How I work
principlesSecurity by default
Threat modeling and least-privilege thinking from the first commit — so you never pay to rebuild after a security review.
Ship measurable wins
Every engagement is scoped around outcomes your business feels: latency, cost, reliability, revenue. Numbers, not vibes.
Direct & senior
You talk to the person doing the work — clear weekly communication, honest trade-offs, and no hand-offs, ever.
