We have developed a cancer research electronic medical records system that has surpassed its initial aim for managing just cervical cancer research data in Kenya. CATSystem is now a platform that can be easily adapted to collect, store, analyze and report comprehensive data on any type of cancer to improve patient care and conduct cancer research in Kenya and around the world.

Kansas City, United States

I assist a team of US based data analysts by developing and maintaining SQL queries needed to pull data off of the HITSystem databases for Kenya, Tanzania, and Malawi. I also develop and maintain a project dashboard that shows study milestones in real-time and present the data in form of graphical charts. I develop and monitor data quality checks that help site-coordinators stay on top of the isues they need to track.

Siaya County - Siaya, Kenya

Coordinated KenyaEMR, IQCare, eHTS, PSMART, T4A, and other HIS activities in Siaya county. Developed Health Information System solutions for VMMC.

Homa Bay County - Mbita, Kenya

I was responsible for designing and developing electronic MCH Forms/Registers in OpenMRS. I also developed and maintained MCH reports into the system. Part of my duty was to configure and maintain SMS Text Messaging platform which was an important part of the project. I managed data synchronization across all intervention sites and was responsible for monitoring the eMCHR dashboard.

Kisumu, Kenya

I supervised the organizations's data synchronization activities for two years, managing the flow of data for about 100,000 patients from 150 remote health facilities into one main central server to facilitate a centralized data analysis and reporting framework. In the process, I developed numerous automated functionalities to support this mission.

I was also resposnsible for the design, development, and maintenance of data collection forms in the FACES OpenMRS. I automated system reports, backup procedures, emails, and central linux server maintenance processes.

Quite a simple system own its own but with amazing functionalities, the Protocols system marked my debut into the field of medical research making it the first production web app I ever built and deployed after college.

I designed and developed the Protocols Management System to help in the management of KEMRI RCTP study protocols. The system has functionalities that enable the organization to keep track of study protocols application and renewal processes. It includes an automated email reminder that sends alert emails to principal investigators whose protocols are about to expire. This helped the organization achieve 100% zero delays in the protocol renewal and submission processes.

Kisumu, Kenya

This was fun! During my final year at Kisumu National Polytechnic, I joined hands with a fellow student to develop a custom Library Management System for the institution. The project started after one of my lecturers rejected my plan to build a full scale library system for my final year project. Instead, he advised me to work on an alternative smaller project that I had presented its plan earlier, and suggested that I continue with my bigger project after the examination and potentially sell it.

In the end, we never really sold it to the college but took it as an apportunity to make something for the real world. We ended up developing and implementing a fully functional library information system, barcoded all the library books and trained the staff. The system streamlined a number of processes in the library including Book lending, late fee billings, and stock taking. The management got interested and funded the project to purchase a small security gate which we configured to beep when someone naugty tried to walk out with a book without checking it out.

That year, the library was voted the most improved department.
