Built by people who care
Our team brings together world-class engineering talent with a shared belief that local communities deserve better tools.
Joshua Okwampah
Head of Engineering
A self-taught engineer with nearly a decade of shipping software across fintech, e-commerce, education and beyond — oh, and he holds a degree in Political Science & Music, so yes, he can debate you and out-groove you. When he's not leading the charge on Civic.ly's architecture, you'll find him writing short stories or gaming.
Nii Annan
Full Stack Developer / Architect
Armed with a Computer Engineering degree from KNUST and battle-tested at Morgan Stanley building scalable systems on AWS, Nii is the person who takes spaghetti code and turns it into something beautiful. He thinks in databases, microservices, and motorcycle rides.
Faustina Asare
Full Stack Developer, Front-End Focus
Faustina built a real-time trading system before most people figure out their coffee order, and she's mentored new engineers across Java, Scala, and Python. With stints at Morgan Stanley, she brings serious full-stack chops with a front-end eye — plus she once hiked an active volcano.
Melissa Coskun
Mobile App Developer (Android & iOS)
A Computer Engineering graduate who cut her teeth at Turkish Aerospace Industries and even taught Python to kids aged 8–17, Melissa now crafts the mobile experience that puts Civic.ly in your pocket. Off-screen, she's baking, dancing, or playing the violin.
John Fagan
Founder & CEO
A career built on using location technology to positively impact places and communities. From the founding team at Multimap.com (acquired by Microsoft) to smart mobility apps in Switzerland and New York City, to creating the first digital maps of rural Namibia, John has spent two decades at the intersection of mapping, GIS, and civic tech. He built a 1,700-strong startup community in Norwich, earning an Honorary Doctorate from UEA, and now he's channelling it all into Civic.ly — bringing smart city technology to every town and village.
Tracy Fisher
QA Manager
Former Microsoft Certified Trainer turned international rally car co-driver turned Ironman — Tracy's career reads like three different action movies spliced together. She spent her twenties calling pace notes at breakneck speed, and now she brings that same precision to making sure Civic.ly is bulletproof.
