What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote or hybrid role where I can lead or contribute to impactful digital projects in climate-tech, civic tech, or AI-powered systems. I value mission-driven teams, innovation, and opportunities for continuous growth.

I’m Ian Amukowa, a Nairobi-based Tech Project Manager, Application Support Analyst, and AI enthusiast with 4+ years of experience across digital platforms, civic tech, and climate-focused organizations.

Currently, I lead the Website Development and Digital Strategy team at Leading Women of Africa, where I’ve overseen the full revamp of corporate websites, integrated secure payment systems (PayFast, WooCommerce), automated membership processes, and established CRM workflows for efficient lead management and engagement.

My technical skillset includes:

Languages & Tools: Python, SQL, HTML/CSS, Postman, JIRA, Excel, Power BI
Systems: WooCommerce, WordPress, QuickBooks, phpMyAdmin, PrismHR
Testing & Support: Manual testing, regression testing, bug tracking, API testing, ERP/CRM support
Cloud/Infra: cPanel, DNS/email management
AI/ML: Trained in AI & ML specialization (Coursera) and building models for climate prediction using Random Forest.

In addition to my technical work, I contribute to digital advocacy and environmental sustainability projects as a member of ESRAG and a leader in Rotaract District 9212. I am also finalizing my BSc in Technical & Applied Physics with a specialization in Astrophysics, working on predictive modeling of geomagnetic variations linked to climate anomalies.

I’m open to full-time or remote roles in application support, AI-powered product strategy, civic or climate tech, and data-driven platform management—especially roles aligned with digital inclusion, sustainability, or scalable social impact.
