Looking for a job

Stephen Ombima

@stephenombima

I improve program data, digital workflows, GIS mapping, and healthcare operations across Kenya.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my data, digital systems, GIS, and program operations experience to improve reporting quality, implementation performance, and service delivery across healthcare, development, or community programs.

At Ujamaa Africa, I coordinate program data, digital reporting, cartography, and implementation tracking across a multi-county network of schools and training clusters.

I validate field data, produce GIS/GPS maps that inform planning and resource allocation, resolve digital workflow issues, and turn implementation findings into practical operational recommendations.

Previously at Medstar Pharmacy, I combined first-line IT support with pharmaceutical dispensing and built data-validation processes that reduced inventory discrepancies and data-entry errors by more than 40%.

I've also trained more than 50 healthcare providers and retail pharmacists on digital platforms through Triggerise, and supported member systems, data integrity, registration, and migrations at NHIF.
