What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build practical healthcare and community-focused solutions, especially where technology can improve maternal health, learning, and access to services. I value hands-on problem-solving, mission-driven teams, and opportunities to keep learning.

I'm building HekaMama AI, a maternal health technology concept with AI chat support, danger-sign awareness, nutrition guidance, antenatal care scheduling, and Kinyarwanda language support for Rwandan mothers.

Alongside my midwifery studies at the University of Rwanda, I founded GWIZA Microfinance Cooperative to help students save and access small loans. I developed its founding documents, membership terms, outreach materials, and launch activities.

I've also led youth programs as Regional President at Youth Impact Mission, coordinated AI bootcamps at Menya AI, and deliver freelance digital work. I enjoy working step by step through clinical, business, and coding problems without obvious solutions.
