@geraldabidrabocaku
I build web-based information systems that improve reporting, compliance, records management, and operational workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've designed and implemented Information Management Systems for Uganda's National Bureau for NGOs, supporting institutional data handling, reporting, archive digitisation, and USAID-linked stakeholders.
Across freelance engagements, I've built property management, hospital information, and applicant tracking systems for organisations in Uganda, Kenya, and the DRC.
I work with PHP, object-oriented programming, custom MVC frameworks, MySQL, WordPress, cloud-hosted platforms, and digital content management.
My work turns operational requirements into practical digital systems, supported by documentation, user training, maintenance, and ongoing technical support.
