About

From Uganda, building in Kenya, thinking about Africa.

I was born in Uganda and currently work in Kenya. My work has grown around technology, software, digital systems, business development and operations. I started building and working through Sparkle Online Solutions, an IT company rooted in Kenya with a vision of helping Africa embrace technology. Over time, my focus has moved beyond ordinary digital services. I am increasingly focused on building software systems, business platforms, automation tools and technology products that solve real operational problems, not just software that looks good, but technology people can actually use to run their businesses, schools and organizations better.

My Approach

Practical technology, built for real use.

I believe technology should be useful in the real world, affordable enough for African businesses and institutions, and capable of growing as the organization grows.

1

Understand the operation

Start with how the business, school or institution actually runs, not a generic template.

2

Build what's practical

Design systems that are useful and affordable, not software that just looks good.

3

Deploy and support

Host, deploy and support the system so it keeps working in the real world.

4

Grow with the client

Build technology capable of growing as the organization itself grows.

The Bigger Vision

Helping Africa embrace technology.

My long-term vision is to build technology companies and products that contribute to Africa's digital transformation, technology that understands the realities of the African market, not simply imported and adapted.
