A former finalist of Ghana’s National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), Prince Debrah Junior, has secured a software engineering position at Google in the United States after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Debrah, an alumnus of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC-Legon), rose to public attention as a member of the school’s team that competed in the 2021 NSMQ finals.
The technology graduate completed his studies in computer science at MIT, one of the world’s leading institutions for science and engineering.
Following his graduation, Debrah successfully went through Google’s recruitment process and is set to begin work as a software engineer in the US.
His achievement has drawn attention in Ghana, where he is being recognised as an example of the opportunities that can emerge from strong foundations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
From competing on one of Ghana’s biggest academic stages to joining one of the world’s most influential technology companies, Debrah’s journey highlights the growing global impact of young African technology talent.
