Summary
Peter Adu is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack and AI-enabled solutions across fintech, agritech, and edtech. He has led engineering teams at startups and larger organizations, shipping scalable products—from agent portals and monitoring dashboards at Wave Mobile Money to hardware-integrated farm tools like GrainMate at Sesi Technologies. A pragmatic builder, he has driven engineering best practices (raising test coverage from 7% to 80%) and optimized performance and reliability in production systems. He combines product sensibility with infrastructure know-how, designing systems that reliably integrate hardware, data science, and user-facing applications for social impact. Based in Accra, Ghana, Peter is especially motivated by ventures that improve livelihoods for smallholder farmers and underserved communities. Less obvious: he pairs startup fundraising and pitch experience with deep technical delivery, helping teams turn prototypes into funded, deployable products.
