I am a Makerere University Lecturer in Networks and Software Engineering with a Ph.D. in Computer Science, an M.Sc. in Computer Science, a B.Sc. (Mathematics), and a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer. I’ve instructed students in math, computer science, statistics, software engineering, and data communications. Some of the activities in which I have engaged during my time at the institution include conducting research projects, supervising graduate students, and collaborating with colleagues on academic publications.
I have also supervised graduate students in their research on topics such as machine learning, cloud computing, networks, IoT and software development. In terms of academic publications, Additionally, I have organized workshops and seminars on topics such as cybersecurity, building campus networks, data visualization techniques, and software development methodologies.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also collaborated with industry and government organizations to develop digital technologies for teaching, learning, and research. I have worked closely with companies in the telecommunications sector to design and implement network infrastructure solutions, as well as with government agencies to develop ICT policies. These collaborations have allowed me to bridge the gap between academia and industry, and to contribute to real-world solutions for the challenges faced in the field.
