When I was 3 years old I wanted to be superman (yh I know everyone did). Then when I was 6 years old I wanted to be the president. Then at age 9 I wanted to make the metal birds move in the sky, I wanted to be a pilot.
Things get really foggy from here but you get the idea. There was the doctor phase which I thought would stick because I actually studied general science at the high school level. There was the scientist phase where I wanted to be a physicist like Albert Einstein because I was topping the physics class. Oh and there was the hacker era where I wanted to take a peek into NASA. You get the whole picture.

So at this point as you’ll imagine I am into computers and I start studying and studying and making a few projects here and there and once again in my life, I was like “I am going to be a software engineer”. And boy did it stick because as the second thing I really got serious about, I went to school for it and actually enjoyed it.
You’ll meet people who’ll say it’s a nightmare but I loved every bit of it. And since then I have gone on to contribute to the world. I have software solutions that are being used in offices today, I have lots of apps on the web that are helping businesses run, and I have myself tons of projects both professional and passion driven.
Most notably I spend my time building simple games in pygame and the mathematics behind it all is so fascinating. Learning about game loops, drawing, updating and even positioning objects (oh the object oriented programming) has been very fun. It’s harder without a dedicated Engine like Unity or Unreal but I do it for the passion.
Today I find myself in a remote team solving real world problems
with ambition just like when I was 6. And while the whole journey from 3 years old has taken about 18 years, I think I truly did become superman (at least in tech).
This is my own weird way of introducing myself. Hey, my name is Daniel Possible Kwabi and I am a product engineer.
