About

Hello, I'm Bessong. I build and ship software: mobile apps, web apps, and backend systems. I've taken products from idea to App Store and Google Play, won pitch competitions and grants, and I care about quality and getting things done. From React Native to Node to Python — I like building things that work.

Built from customer discovery with 15+ interviews; reduced testimonial submission time by 60% compared to email-based workflows.

Hackathons

I like building things

During my time in university, I attended 2+ hackathons. People from around the country would come together and build incredible things in 2-3 days. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals.
