## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build reliable digital platforms and practical AI products where I can connect software delivery, cloud infrastructure, observability, and responsible technology adoption.
```

## About

```text
At the Botswana Institute for Technology Research and Innovation, I build and maintain resilient infrastructure for national digital health platforms, including electronic medical record and Master Facility List initiatives.

I automate delivery and operations with Jenkins, Docker, Docker Swarm, Linux, reverse proxies, and CI/CD pipelines. I also implement observability using Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, cAdvisor, and Node Exporter to improve uptime and incident response.

Previously at Thito Holdings, I led customer-facing and internal applications for online loan applications, loan tracking, customer records, and helpdesk management. I worked directly with users and stakeholders to turn operational needs into reliable workflows.

I've also launched AI products for transcription, retrieval-grounded knowledge access, and AI-readiness assessment, and share practical technology knowledge through Koding 101 and technical writing.
