David Mutwoki

I’m a research-oriented International Relations and Development Studies professional working at the intersection of technology, governance, and development. I bring applied research, policy analysis, and the design mindset needed to turn civic-tech and agri-tech ideas into solutions that address real-world socio-economic challenges.

Most recently, as a Research Associate, I led applied research for civic-tech and agri-tech applications. I conducted needs assessments, stakeholder mapping, and user research, then collaborated with developers and designers on solution design. I also authored research reports and digital governance concept notes.

Before that, I supported market research and client analysis while contributing to stakeholder engagement and project coordination. I documented client insights on communication strategies, helping teams translate research findings into clear engagement approaches.

I’ve also built practical experience through roles that demand responsiveness and clear communication. As a Sales Intern, I sourced and qualified prospects for microfinance and trade finance products, maintained strong customer relationships, and supported clients with applications and documentation; earlier, as a First Aider / Community Response Assistant, I provided first aid and emergency response within structured emergency response teams.
