A builder, a teacher, and a lifelong student.

Appau-Siaw Richmond Yeboah is a multi-disciplinary engineer whose work spans robotics, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. Over nearly a decade he has designed autonomous systems, built safety-critical hardware, and shipped products that operate in demanding real-world conditions.

In parallel with his engineering practice, Richmond has become one of the most active STEM educators in his region — coaching championship robotics teams, developing curricula, and mentoring hundreds of students who have gone on to pursue careers in technology.

He is also a founder, having started and co-founded several ventures at the intersection of technology, education, and social impact. His guiding conviction is that engineering only matters when it reaches people — and that Africa should build, not merely consume, the technology of the future.
