Back when I was in Form 2, before I even joined university, I developed one of my early successful standalone systems — a VICOBA computer program. It could handle withdrawals, manage loans with interest and penalties, and cover all the key microfinance functions. I built it using VB.NET 2006 and Oracle DB 2000.
What made this project truly memorable is that it wasn’t just theoretical — it was actually used by the VICOBA group my mum was part of. That’s how I unexpectedly became “the IT guy” in the group — and as a token of appreciation, they gave me TZS 50,000. 😅
You might ask: how was that even possible at such a stage?
The answer is simple — self-motivation, strong belief, and learning every single day. Back then, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and other forums were our “AI.” I was self-taught, driven by curiosity, and determined to create solutions that mattered.
That small beginning shaped my journey. Today, I specialize in helping companies and organizations transform their operations through technology — driving automation, digital efficiency, and business growth. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to support hundreds of businesses in moving their processes into the digital space, aligning technology with strategy to deliver real impact.
