About Me

I am the founder of bulama.io. I am a speaker and a Google certified solution architect.I have more than 20 years experience in tech. Leading multiple software teams over that period with deep interaction with multiple technologies over that period.

I help businesses solve complex problems with software, be it technical or organisational, so they can utilise technology as a powerful asset instead of being a costly burden.

I’ve worked with international NGOs, global embassies, and several startups, delivering solutions that reduce costs, and drive growth. I can do the same for you so let's get started.

I have spoken at various software architecture conferences in New York and London on a number for tech leadership and architecture topics.

I have been endorsed as an Exceptional Global Talent in the UK.
