What I Build

Practical desktop applications for local Kenyan organizations — designed to work offline when connectivity fails

Many local organizations — chamas, landlords, gyms, and small shops — still rely on spreadsheets and paper records. This leads to lost data, difficult reconciliation, and operations that break when internet connectivity fails.

As a fourth-year Electrical & Electronics Engineering student at the University of Nairobi, I've built desktop applications that solve these real-world problems. These aren't just personal side projects — they're working solutions used by actual community groups and local businesses across Kenya.
