Engineer, Entrepreneur & Mentor
Building scalable solutions that drive innovation across Africa
With over 4+ years of experience in software development, I specialize in architecting and delivering scalable web applications and backend systems. As a Tech Lead & Solutions Architect, I've built and led engineering teams creating innovative digital platforms with AI-powered features.
My expertise spans Node.js, Java/Spring, Python, PostgreSQL and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. I've founded multiple tech ventures, combining technical excellence with entrepreneurial vision to build products that solve real-world problems and serve thousands of users.
Beyond building products, I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of African developers. As a DSA Coach for the Rwanda and Pan-African Informatics Olympiad, I help young talents unlock their potential in competitive programming.
