Precision aim.
Clean code.
Balanced books.
I'm Daniel Okine — Legolascodes. A full-stack developer and financial analyst in Accra, Ghana, building Django-powered products and automating the financial workflows behind them.
I blend a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance with hands-on, full-stack web development — building Django-based applications and automating financial workflows for small businesses and independent brands across e-commerce, fintech, music, food export, and local services.
Before going independent, I worked inside Ghana's fintech sector, reconciling accounts and building the Python tooling that kept the reporting honest. That's the lens I bring to every build now: software should hold up the way a good ledger does — accurate, auditable, and built to be trusted.
Outside of client work, I run a live chess streaming channel under the same Legolascodes name — same instinct for reading the board a few moves ahead.
