Project description

In 2017, he co-founded a software development company. His vision is to provide mobile apps that are simple and practical and help every traveler to overcome daily challenges using a smartphone.

The company initially offered software solutions for the Rwandan market. They now have corporate clients in four African countries. One of their most important successes was that Volkswagen commissioned them to develop a mobile application. This car sharing solution enables customers to find available cars in their area.

The company pursues a strategy of recruiting, training and retaining talented software developers in the long term. It also invests in new and innovative technologies for the development of web and mobile applications.
