Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCaleb Okpara is a pragmatic software engineer and entrepreneur with six years of experience, now serving as Co‑founder and CTO of Modem Pay where he focuses on building reliable payment systems and keeping production services running. He blends hands‑on coding with ops responsibilities—servers, integrations, and the occasional business-facing role—to ship features that actually process money. Prior CTO and engineering roles at Murnitur and InSIST Global Gambia sharpened his full‑stack problem solving and product delivery in a Gambian context. A University of the People computer science student with a background in freelance web development and teaching, he brings a maker’s mentality and an emphasis on practical, user‑facing outcomes. His GitHub persona, summed up as “WYSIWYG,” reflects a straightforward approach: what you see is what he builds and supports.
