I am a Software Engineer, and have worked for the likes of Ushahidi and SwiftRiver, and also done curation and visualization tools for the likes of Al Jazeera. I then developed a passion for community empowerment, being one of the founders of the Mombasa Tech Community and shaping a major part of its strategy with 2 other brilliant fellows.
I am the Technology lead at Abayima, and work with Appfrica labs (including Hive Colab in Kampala, Uganda). I have spent more than 10 years developing web, mobile, and enterprise software as well as being a project manager for a number of software products and projects. I have worked with corporations and non profits alike, as well as media agencies such as Al Jazeera New Media (on 3 important curation projects covering Somalia, Libya and Gaza) as well as Internews Europe. Also worked for Ushahidi as a Software Engineer for SwiftRiver, Datadyne as Product Manager for EpiSurveyor (now MagPi), and with Kenya Airways for their Online Marketing strategy, Bookings and Reservations engines, and overall web strategy – during my time with 3 Mice Interactive Media, to name a few.
