The person behind the world
Osman Amadu Jalloh
Junior Computer Science student at Berea College. Born in Sierra Leone, shaped at the African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg, now building products in Kentucky.
I build things: Fynd is a verified-student campus discovery platform live on web and as a PWA at fyndplaces.com with 100+ users. Regain AI is a Claude API-powered contact automation tool. College Circle won $4,500 in FAST Idea Program funding.
Before college I founded and exited FIX Enterprise for 400% ROI, served as a member of the Youth Advisory Panel for Plan International Sierra Leone and as National Vice President of the Children's Forum Network and Children's Parliament in Sierra Leone, and graduated from ALA with Cambridge A-Levels in Entrepreneurial Leadership.

What drives me
Core Values
Build First
Ideas mean nothing without execution. Every concept becomes a shipped product or it does not count.
Pan-African Identity
Born in Sierra Leone, shaped in South Africa, studying in Kentucky. The African continent is always the frame of reference.
Real Impact
Users, not metrics. Communities, not audiences. Every product and every role is measured by who it actually helps.
Lead From Anywhere
Leadership is not a title. It shows up in how problems get solved, how teams get rallied, and how opportunities get created.
