About Me
I hold an MSc. in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University and a BSc. in Computer Science from Ruaha Catholic University. I have 5+ years of experience in building and assessing software systems, conducting user research, and coordinating capacity building in digital identity and cybersecurity. My skillset includes System Design, DevOps, Software Quality Assurance, HCI, Distributed Systems, Data Science, Responsible AI, Privacy and Policy.
I have published and presented research at security and privacy venues (IEEE S&P, PST and USENIX Security), and have received a Distinguished Paper Award at USENIX Security 2026 for the study on payment confirmation practices in Rwanda. My research has largely been on making African digital finance and digital governance safer and easier to use, mostly focused on:
- Web authentication for eGov in resource-constrained environments.
- Quality assurance for DPIs and DPGs.
- Security, privacy and usability for mobile money services in Africa.
