Seven years · Kampala, Uganda

Enterprise platforms.AI that operates them.

I have spent seven years building the software health providers, marketplaces, and public institutions run every day. I now put autonomous agents on that kind of system, so sales, follow-ups, bookings, and operations move with a person still approving what matters.

Practice

Automation on top of systems that already have to hold.

01

Agents on real operations

WhatsApp, CRM, bookings, finance, and approvals in one workflow. The agent handles the routine. The owner still decides the exception.

02

Enterprise applications

Multi-sided platforms for clinics, marketplaces, media, and public institutions: roles, payments, mobile and web clients, and the record the team opens on Monday.

03

Models inside the product

Voice, climate intelligence, clinical assistants, and creative generation wired into the path a customer or operator already uses.

Work

Systems in production.

AI products lead. The enterprise platforms cover health, marketplaces, media, climate, and government.

01

Ara44

AI business automation

Autonomous response agent for registered businesses. The company keeps its own WhatsApp number. Ara44 runs sales, inquiries, onboarding, bookings, and follow-ups, and waits for the owner on discounts and complaints. The same account powers Creative Studio: posters, voice, and short video. Owners review the record on the web dashboard and the Ara44 mobile app.

Kibira AI

Climate intelligence

Climate system for African farms, forests, cities, and children’s health. Farmers track crops against weather, yield, and prices. Forestry teams monitor deforestation. Schools and clinics receive heat, flood, and air-quality warning. Dr. Kibira is the research assistant on the same data.
