Who I Am

I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Makerere University with a rare combination of ISO management systems expertise and hands-on software development capability. I operate at the intersection of compliance, engineering, and technology.

Since 2023, I have trained over 12 Lead Auditors, implemented ISO management systems for major Ugandan organisations, managed enterprise IT infrastructure, and built software projects across Python, JavaScript and C++.

I also founded ECAFU Initiative Uganda — a nonprofit focused on youth and women empowerment through education and entrepreneurship in Kyotera District.
