The Scientific Developer

I leverage a strong academic foundation in Biotechnology alongside modern software architecture to transform biological science into practical, highly-scalable software products.

As a graduate in Biotechnology from Makerere University and the Founder of SAFE AI-AFRICA, I have focused my career on designing digital solutions that address biological threats, food-borne pathogens, and educational gaps. My professional journey combines real-world industrial Quality Control at Yo Kuku! with cutting-edge AI product development.

Whether building deep-learning tools for bioinformatics or digitizing manual HACCP/GMP processes to ensure food safety compliance, I strive to create high-performance systems that are visually clean, secure, and user-centric.
