THE RESUME OF ADJOA KITTOE

A BIT ABOUT ME

I believe there’s an importance of intersecting technology, food systems, and operations. Below you’ll see how my experience showcases my dedication to such integration.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE STUDENT

I started my journey into technology in my teens when fooling around with MySpace and Neopets custom pages. I loved the ability to create aesthetically pleasing visuals with words and numbers. I later found out my love wasn’t only for front-end development, but for the creative arts in general.
