I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Harvard University. I currently work as a Cloud Engineer in Big Data and Analytics at Google. Before that, I worked at Salesforce, a US-based technology company, as a Senior Technical Architect helping businesses Digital Transformation projects. I also serve as a Sergeant, in the United States Army Reserve in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Hazard Response Unit.
About Me
I am deeply passionate about civic engagement, current events, and socio-economic mobility through education. I have worked with the US Census Bureau, The Election Assistance Commission, and volunteered time tutoring and mentoring young adults with the US Department of State. In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, reading, painting, and learning about technology.
As a former student at Kisimiri High School, which also happens to be our first project, I am beyond excited about the transformative potential Upendo Kwanza has on the lives of hundreds of underprivileged students at Kisimiri and all over Tanzania!
