Professional Profile

Technology practitioner, entrepreneur and software engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, building, integrating and supporting digital systems — spanning artificial intelligence, digital platforms, digital health, interoperability, enterprise systems and open-source technology.

Founder and technology lead at Intuvance Co. Ltd, a technology company developing and delivering practical digital solutions for complex real-world problems. Through Intuvance, I work across product conception, technical architecture, software development, AI integration, implementation planning, client engagement and delivery.

My recent work focuses on the intersection of AI, digital infrastructure and African development challenges, including offline-first digital health, AI-enabled platforms, skills and employment technology, enterprise productivity and inclusive digital solutions.

I bring a combination of hands-on technical depth and practitioner-led product development: taking ideas from problem definition and technical concept through architecture, prototyping, implementation, deployment and ongoing improvement.

My experience includes direct technology delivery in Uganda, Kenya and Botswana, as well as participation in international open-source and digital-health ecosystems.
