• I founded QHAZI to help learners in Kenya decide what to study and which careers to explore. Counselling was hard to access, career information was scattered, and schools had a limited pool of professionals they could invite to speak.
• I designed and wrote code for Careers Lingo. Our team built a web app, developed a handbook and career cards, and ran workshops in schools. We reached about 20,000 learners across the work.
• I interviewed early users, designed the web app’s interface, and wrote code for it.
• I researched Kenya’s labour market, spoke with people across industries, and helped turn the findings into a handbook and career cards. Seeing teachers use the cards was a personal highlight.
• I led school outreach and workshop delivery and recruited and managed a team of 10. I used short work samples to see how candidates approached tasks they would do on the team.
• About 20,000 learners reached overall, about 2,000 app users, more than 100 workshops, and more than KSh 2 million in revenue.
• At Career Week 2026, we brought together more than 200 learners and more than 30 professionals so learners could ask directly about their work and career paths.

• Alliance High School approached us through Careers Lingo to give learners more opportunities to test ideas, work through setbacks, and solve practical problems.
• We set up an innovation hub and ran two pilots. About 100 learners participated in 2025, and the school made the programme mandatory for all Grade 10 learners in 2026.
• I spoke with learners about their ideas, worked with teachers to make time in the school schedule, and brought school leaders and alumni into the programme.
• I mobilised sponsors and judges and helped deliver two pitch festivals.
• About 30 learners were actively developing ideas.
• The school began implementing a dormitory cleaning and monitoring system that a learner designed and prototyped using AI.

• I led the startup side of a three-month programme that helped founders identify pressing business challenges and work with university teams to develop solutions for the summit hackathon.
• I helped turn founders’ challenges into briefs and brought the teams together ahead of the summit. Founders, lecturers, and learners presented their proposed solutions at the hackathon.
• Dr Hilda Muteshi and I assessed the startups, drafted problem statements, and reviewed them with the founders.
• Each university nominated one lecturer and two learners. I helped match them with ventures based on the problem, the lecturer’s expertise, and the learners’ fields of study.
• Teams presented their proposed solutions at the summit. We encouraged them to continue collaborating afterwards.

• I joined as Soma Siri Afrika expanded from music and languages into coding and robotics. I helped set up and run school clubs and equipped instructors to teach coding.
• In May 2023, I began supporting the founder on Project UWAZI, a grant-funded programme that taught learners to use human-centred design to solve problems. Learners presented their solutions at Kenya Innovation Week.
• I researched computer science teaching and adult learning, developed a curriculum and trainer manual, and trained music and language instructors to teach coding. For UWAZI, I designed hands-on training where instructors worked through the design thinking process themselves.
• I taught learners directly, supported trainers across hubs, and set reporting metrics to track programme and learner progress.
• I monitored spending and payments, adjusted resources, recruited judges, approached sponsors, and invited parents to see the programme ahead of a paid cohort. I developed relationships with WISE KE and Education Development Trust.
• I took the programme’s work to the Metis Reimagined Ed Summit. Learners presented their solutions at Kenya Innovation Week.
• I was promoted into Partnerships, Development, and Finance, where I supported company growth and financial sustainability.

• I helped grow school coding and robotics programmes and supported early-stage ventures as they turned ideas into products, often through hardware prototypes.
• As the team grew, I moved from teaching learners directly to training instructors and coordinating delivery across schools.
• I ran demos, pitched programmes to schools, and helped close deals. I scheduled lessons so schools could share a limited supply of robotics kits.
• I supported founders in UNICEF Generation Unlimited incubation as they defined products, found early users, built and tested prototypes, recruited initial team members, and prepared pitches. I drew on my accounting background to help them organise finances and operations.
• I helped deliver Maker Camp, holiday boot camps, and the first World Robot Olympiad edition the centre supported. My work included fundraising, marketing, school recruitment, logistics, and learner preparation.

• I helped design the codebook and build Google Forms for consistent data entry. I coordinated the photographing and transcription of handwritten submissions.
• I helped recruit and coordinate about 100 data clerks and served as the main point of contact between them, the senior researcher, and the Working Party’s committees.
• I assigned reviewers, verified coded submissions, and prepared summaries and visualisations for the lead researcher.

• Technovation AI Ventures Accelerator (2026). I built and pitched an AI venture and was invited to join Technovation’s venture community. I saw how the curriculum helped first-time builders grasp complex ideas and get to a prototype they could test quickly.
• //kood (Peer-to-peer software development · 2026). I learned in a peer-led setting where learners studied together, built projects, and presented their work.
• Standard Chartered Women in Tech Accelerator (Top 15 finalist). I spent three months receiving venture-building support and building relationships with other founders. It showed me where structured support helps and where teams need guidance specific to their venture.
• ALX Founder Academy (Participant). I took part in ALX’s founder development programme.
