About

I'm Salim Jamal, a software engineer based in Accra. I build high-performance web products end-to-end — from interface to API to deploy — across e-commerce, fintech, events, and marketing platforms.

My strongest tools are React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Recent work has improved engagement by 25–40%, cut page load times by up to 50%, and shipped secure production systems with clear business impact.

Outside of work: basketball for strategy and pace, anime for creative fuel. Both show up in how I solve problems — adapt, execute, ship.
