I've spent 20+ years at the intersection of technology, communications, and social impact.
Today I work as a Systems Architect and Fractional Product CTO, helping impact-sector organisations go from problem definition to shipped product — fast, sustainably, and without vendor lock-in.
I architect and ship open-source, interoperable platforms: from DPG-aligned government systems to feminist healthtech. I specialise in the messy middle most consultants avoid — between “we have a great idea” and “we have a working product that users trust.”
I'm the founder of Mama Tech / TichLabs — a feminist tech studio building DADA, a menopause companion for African women, and Mama Tech Teaches, a learning community where women build from day one.

What I've built
All projects →From co-design sprint to shipped product — built with the communities they serve.
Work with me
You launched. People signed up. Then went quiet.
I run focused 3–5 day sprints where we find exactly where users are dropping off — and ship the fixes together before we're done. Not a report. Real changes, real fast.
