A Bit About Me
I'm a well-trained engineer holding a Master of Science in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Ruaha Catholic University. I have experience in designing, implementing and supporting enterprise VAS applications for banks and telcos. I'm skilled and comfortable to work in areas of System Design, DevOps, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Distributed Systems, Data Analysis & Visualization, Responsible AI, Information Systems Auditing, Privacy, Regulation of Internet Platforms and Software Quality Assurance.
I'm currently a Research Associate working with the Upanzi DPI Network and the University of Chicago's SUPERgroup (Security, Usability, & Privacy Education & Research group) supervised by Blase Ur. My research interests are in Usable Privacy and Security, System Reliability, Responsible AI and HCI and my recent work has focused on:
- Implementing and assessing web authentication protocols for low-resource environments.
- Quality assurance for Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) and Digital Public Goods (DPGs).
- Studying the security, privacy and usability concerns for mobile money services in Africa.
