ABOUT ME

I am a Computer Science graduate and technology builder based in Tanzania, interested in the intersection of software engineering, networking, digital business, and practical problem solving.

EXPLORE
SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS

Beyond academic projects, I have been building and testing real products. I currently work on DukaSmart, a lightweight digital platform for small businesses, and have explored products including TradeNest, BiasharaAI, and other locally focused technology solutions.

REAL-WORLD PRACTICE

My practical experience includes web development, full-stack application development, API integration, database work, Linux and network administration, Cisco networking, router and switch configuration, fiber-optic networking, IoT with ESP32, AI and automation, SEO, deployment, DNS, and product testing.

FOUNDER MINDSET

Building products has taught me how to work with limited resources, make technical decisions, test ideas with real users, and keep moving when there is no large team or large budget behind me. I am particularly interested in telecommunications, ISP/network engineering, software development, ICT infrastructure, and technology entrepreneurship.

FOUNDER & PRODUCT BUILDER

I don't only study technology. I build with it.

MY APPROACH

As an independent technology founder, I have taken ideas from concept to MVP, handling different parts of the process myself: product research, architecture, development, deployment, domains, SEO, testing, documentation, and early user feedback.

SELECTED PRODUCTS

DukaSmart: A lightweight digital platform designed to help small businesses manage and digitize their daily operations.

PRODUCTS IN MOTION

TradeNest: An e-commerce concept focused on connecting Tanzanian and East African producers and businesses with customers.

BiasharaAI: An AI-focused business solution exploring automation of customer communication and sales processes.

Smart Helmet: An IoT safety project integrating ESP32, GPS, GSM, alcohol detection, helmet verification, and emergency SMS functionality.

NETWORKING & TELECOMMUNICATIONS

My practical networking experience comes from industrial training and hands-on laboratory work.

PRACTICAL EXPOSURE

Router and switch configuration, Cisco Packet Tracer, Huawei networking equipment, SSH and Telnet, LAN configuration and troubleshooting, IP addressing and routing fundamentals, fiber-optic networking, GPON/xGPON concepts, NOC operations, PBX maintenance, Linux network administration, and basic firewall configuration.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

Tanzania Telecommunications Corporation (TTCL): Gained practical exposure to telecommunications operations, field networking, equipment troubleshooting, NOC activities, PBX systems, fiber infrastructure, and network configuration.

SKILLS DEVELOPED

Network troubleshooting, fiber splicing and OTDR, server and computer maintenance, network monitoring, and ICT support. This experience strengthened my interest in ISP operations, telecommunications infrastructure, network engineering, and ICT support.

CAREER DIRECTION

I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my Computer Science background and practical experience in telecommunications, networking, software development, ICT infrastructure, and digital technology.
