What I'm looking for

I'm interested in digital transformation, innovation, data and information management, governance, business development, and technology-enabled solutions.

At ICONIC BOUTIQUE, I manage business operations, from researching products and sourcing suppliers to coordinating orders and delivery. The business has served 200+ customers and sold 300+ products, and I’ve expanded its model toward bulk sourcing for other businesses and retailers.

I independently developed an Android Studio and Firebase prototype for a Student Entrepreneurship Support Platform after interviewing 20 stakeholders about the support student entrepreneurs need. I’m also developing an African nutrition platform shaped around locally available foods, while studying Business Information Technology at the UNIVERSITY OF KIGALI.
