I am a passionate, self-taught Software Engineer and a current 2nd-year student at Bugema University in Kampala, Uganda. Long before I stepped into a university lecture room, I was teaching myself how to code. Because of that, I love learning new technologies, staying resourceful, and finding clean tech solutions to simplify everyday life.
- Open Source: I am a Dev 2 contributor at OpenMRS (working on core development, bug fixing, and testing). I also actively contribute to the Mifos Initiative (fintech/banking systems) and the Hiero-SDK ecosystem.
- Full-Stack Development: I build production-ready systems from scratch. I am the core developer behind the School Management System at Rakai Community School of Nursing and the Accounting System at Kitoma Secondary School.
- Current Focus: Developing a live school-fees tracking module for Kitoma Secondary School launching this June.
- Languages: Java, JavaScript, TypeScript,Python
- Frontend: React,Python,Css,Scss
- Databases: Relational database design & management
- Version Control: Git & GitHub
- 👀 Looking for: Opportunities to collaborate with experienced programmers, contribute to impactful open-source software like OpenMRS, Mifos, and Hiero, or build systems that solve real-world problems.

A programmer’s spouse tells them:
“Go to the store and get a loaf of bread. If they have eggs, get a dozen.”
The programmer comes back with 12 loaves of bread.
Spouse: “Why did you do that?!”
Programmer: “They had eggs.”
(Somewhere deep inside, an if statement is smiling proudly.) 😊
