I’m an IT Support Specialist with a track record of getting things done in fast-moving environments. Currently, I support Smart Legal Africa, and I previously supported Recolte Limited, strengthening my hands-on troubleshooting and end-user support.
I also bring development experience from contract work as a Developer at Tuzuruwapi, where I focused on full-stack web application work. My background includes agile practices, regression testing, test-driven development, and building responsive user experiences.
Earlier in my career, I worked across research and data-focused roles, including Data Assistant (M&E) at the International Potato Center (CIP) and Research Assistant roles at Kalro and Sub Sahara Research Services. I’m motivated by solving real problems through careful data work, clear communication, and reliable technical execution.
