The Dev Behind
The Code

I'm a Full-Stack Developer based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania — building web experiences that work for real people in real African contexts. Graduated from Arusha Technical College with a Bachelor in IT, and sharpened my skills as an IT Specialist at TANESCO.

My edge? I understand the market from the inside. Local context, Swahili fluency, and the ability to build products that actually make sense for this continent — not just clones of Western ideas dropped onto African soil.

Currently building AfriNomads — a platform for Africa's tech community to discover co-working spaces, events, and opportunities.
