Background

About Me &
Commercial Work

I am a Software Engineer and Computer Engineering student at the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT). I build functional web applications and software systems focused on clean execution and real-world utility.

Client work includes the commercial web portal for Donmicky Real Estate Developers, the brand identity and Next.js application for Karibu Cottage & Safaris, and the e-commerce store for Zuri Botanicals.

In academic innovation, I exhibited Haven (campus academic & social platform) and Sheria Bot (AI-powered Tanzanian legal assistant) at CITT MUST. I also served as Head of Multimedia for GDSC MUST and now participate in Cyber Club DIT.
