ABOUT ME
Business thinking.
Technical depth.
A human perspective.
I’m a business and technology consultant helping financial services turn complex challenges into useful, scalable products.
My journey started with code: payment integrations, mobile apps, and systems that move money. It grew into leading products, teams, and digital businesses across Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
From a savings group’s first digital contribution to an institution’s next stage of growth, I care about the same thing: making technology work for the people who use it.
