Kausara Yahaya Kpabia
// software engineer

I build software across mobile, web, and databases, teach the occasional engineering class, and write about data, with one project further down the page that has quietly taken most of my year.

01 / Currently

Where I am

Day role
Software & QA Engineer
Ghana School of Law

I lead the QA function and write internal modules for student management, HR, and admissions.

Founder
Tilawa
Pre-launch · Solo build

A peer-to-peer voice learning platform for Qur’an students and verified teachers across Ghana.

Teaching
Volunteer instructor
Global Code · Recurring

Each programme cycle I teach software and computer engineering to Ghanaian university undergraduates.

Full-stack engineer. I care about the parts of a system that decide whether it survives contact with real users.

In practice that means authentication, payment integrations, real-time channels, row-level security, and making sure every mutation is safe to retry. Most outages and most trust failures come from these places.

01
Build

Whole stack. Mobile clients, backend services, database design, deploys.

02
Test & verify

I write tests for security policies and business rules, not only happy-path logic.

03
Lead

Tech lead on the institutional delivery teams I work on.

04

A peer-to-peer voice platform connecting Qur’an students to verified teachers in Ghana. Sister-to-sister and brother-to-brother access is enforced inside Postgres. Payments run on Paystack mobile money. No call audio is recorded. I designed and built every part of it.

Each programme cycle I teach software and computer engineering fundamentals to Ghanaian university undergraduates.

Open source · games & education

A handful of side projects in full-stack web work, plus small browser games and animations I build to teach something specific.

Articles & engineering notes

I write occasionally about Django, Rails, data work, and the practical side of shipping software from Ghana.

05 / Education

From clinical science to software

Trained as a medical scientist. Moved into computer science by choice. The diagnostic habits from the lab still shape how I write code.

BSc, Medical Laboratory Science

University of Ghana, Legon

How I work, in four lines.
