About Me

As a computer engineer and tech entrepreneur with a strong technical background, I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive positive change. I earned my Associate's degree in Computer Engineering from Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology ETE in 2019, specializing in the MERN Stack and Google Kubernetes Engine. With over four years of experience in the fintech industry, I most recently held the role of Business Development Manager at ClickPesa, a prominent fintech company in Tanzania. During my tenure, I achieved a remarkable 25% increase in revenue, managed a robust sales pipeline with over 100 qualified leads, and led a successful sales team. I excelled in bridging the gap between business and technical teams, automating issue management, spearheading frontend software development, and creating comprehensive business documentation and user manuals. Additionally, I served as the product owner for the GetPaid.Africa crypto wallet, which reached over 10,000 Tanzanian freelancers. In parallel to my professional career, I co-founded Karibu Tanzania Link, a platform dedicated to showcasing Tanzania's rich culture and attractions while facilitating global connections for business and investment opportunities within the country. Through this venture, I aspire to promote Tanzania's unique offerings on the global stage and foster cross-cultural collaborations. Furthermore, I maintain a tech-focused blog where I share my personal journey as a tech entrepreneur and computer engineer in Africa. My goal is to inspire others to make a meaningful impact in the world through technology.
