S2 — About

In the cockpit

I'm a full-stack and product developer based in Kampala. My work is tuned for the realities of the African market: Mobile Money as the default way to pay, expensive and unreliable data, and users on affordable Android phones. I build products that respect those constraints instead of fighting them.

I ship end-to-end — product thinking, interface design, backend, integrations, and deployment. I can take an idea like “help boda owners confirm daily lease payments” and carry it all the way to a working app that matches a Mobile Money transaction to the right rider and confirms it within seconds.

I lean on modern AI tooling across the whole workflow — prototyping, content, and delivery speed — and I've built several products where AI is the core of the experience. Same goal every lap: useful software that's fast and reliable for the people actually using it.
