At Andela Uganda, I worked on internal and external products as a Full Stack Software Engineer and Quality Assurance Engineer, using ReactJS, ExpressJS, NodeJS, Flask, and Django. At Insurity Analytics, I created test plans and automation scripts and monitored test automation pipelines.

With the United Nations Development Program (United Nations Global Pulse Lab), I worked on digital speech annotation and ASR training data, using Python to analyze speech data and develop word lists and language dictionaries. My work has also included developing a Java desktop school management application and implementing a product web application with ReactJS at TeleSola Inc.
