I'm a digital media + comms and clean AI enthusiast.

Before 2013 I worked as Communications Officer at two International organizations - Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA) and the Nile Basin Discourse (NBD) respectively, roamin around and covering more than 10 countries. Prior to that, I was Internet/Website Editor at Uganda's leading Daily - The New Vision.As you notice, I work in a multi-cultural environment where I am dealing with numerous team members including from all over the Global South. And because of my current position, I am extremely lucky to be working on projects involving multiple international organizations.I studied IT at the Islamic University in Uganda. Over severalyears, I have acquired more qualifications in Journalism and Media Studies from among others: Stockholm University (Sweden), International Institute of Journalism, Berlin-Brandenburg (Germany), Rhodes University - Reuters Newsroom (South Africa), Uganda Management Institute (UMI) and the Uganda Institute of Business and Media Studies (UIBMS).Interests: AI, Communication tech, IT, Science and Business Journalism, writing, Multimedia production, SMS copywriting, Social media, Communication strategies and digital communications.Lately, I no longer shadow-author.
