About
I help international organizations, ministries, and health implementers turn fragmented data systems into tools that actually drive decisions — at national scale, in real conditions, with teams that weren't data professionals when we started.Over 10+ years, I've led digital health transformation across Rwanda and the wider Africa region especially in Low Middle Income Countries(LMICs)— implementing DHIS2/eTracker, eLMIS/eVLMIS, OpenMRS, and KOBO-based M&E systems for organizations including USAID, GIZ, CHAI, IntraHealth, Abt Associates Inc.,Pact, Willows International, and Rwanda's Ministry of Health.What I bring to advisory and consulting engagements:→ HMIS & eLMIS implementation at national scale (Rwanda RBC, MoH)→ AI/ML integration into EMR platforms and clinical decision-support tools→ Health system interoperability and data exchange architecture→ M&E strategy, OECD-DAC evaluations, and citizen participation systems→ Capacity building for 5,000+ Community Health Workers via eLearning (Moodle)Currently available for senior advisory, consultancy, and M&E leadership roles across Africa and globally.
