Hi / Hei / Hola!

I recently returned to full-time study as a postgraduate student pursuing a Master's degree in AI, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics at Leeds University. My studies are a natural progression from my extensive background as a technical developer and advisor, specializing in mobile learning and educational technology for healthcare. My aim is to develop new skills and knowledge that will enable me to have a slight change in career direction, towards medical technologies.

For over a decade, I dedicated my work to deploying OppiaMobile, an open-source mobile learning platform designed for low-connectivity and resource-constrained environments, with a strong emphasis on offline functionality. I had the privilege of supporting the implementation of educational technologies to improve the training of rural health workers, primarily in Ethiopia, and across Liberia, Uganda, Nigeria, India, Zambia, Ghana, Lebanon, and Pakistan.

I’m a strong advocate for Open Source Software, Agile Methodologies, and  Creative Commons licensing, principles that continue to inform my approach to technology and innovation.

I'm keen to connect with others studying/working in this area, so if you're interested then please feel free to get in touch! (email or LinkedIn)
