About

Isaac Epaphras Nana Sam

I'm a full-stack software developer, building production software since 2022. I studied Computer Engineering at KNUST, graduating with First Class Honours.

Most of my work is in TypeScript, React, and Next.js, with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL on the backend. I've shipped systems across healthcare, fintech, crypto, and AI, from multi-portal web apps and backend APIs to evaluation environments that test AI agents on real Kubernetes infrastructure.

I tend to gravitate toward work where the constraints are real: regulated environments, government systems, live financial infrastructure. Outside of client work, I build things on the side, mostly web tools and experiments.

    • Developed AI agent evaluation tasks for Nebula Aurora, a Kubernetes-based benchmark that tests frontier AI models on real DevOps and SRE incidents

    • Built Python graders with partial scoring that check agent responses against actual system state, plus ground-truth solution scripts; every task had to be verifiable from observable system state alone
