@lyfloneomwenga
Project coordinator blending IT, training, and innovation to empower underserved communities.
What I'm looking for
I am a project coordinator with a background in Information Technology and over six years leading innovation, training, and technology programs in Kenya. I focus on creating practical tools and curricula that empower individuals in under-resourced settings to solve real-world problems.
Currently I lead technical training programs for youth in software development and data analysis, designing and adapting curricula to meet emerging tech and employment trends while managing stakeholders across startups, NGOs, and academia.
I have direct experience coordinating projects at university innovation hubs and public ICT initiatives, including needs assessments, partner coordination, technical program delivery, and support for national digital programs.
My recent work explores AI-augmented product design (fashion/accessories) and community storytelling that connects motherhood, creativity, and tech leadership. I am completing an MBA in Project Management to deepen my program and strategic impact.
