Software Engineer
During my studies at the University of Stellenbosch in Electrical & Electronic engineering, the last thing I wanted to do was to become a software engineer. However, after graduation I landed my first job as a software engineer and grew quite fond of it after seeing its potential. Shortly thereafter I joined Dimagi so that I could use my new found abilities to improve the lives of others. I figured that I wanted to do something that matters in the long run. When I am not working I like being outside enjoying nature. I love exploring interesting ideas by reading or simply watching something like TedX. I also take an interest in history and some deeper philosophical matters, especially reflecting on human nature.

Technical Implementation Manager
I am from Mozambique and lived most of my life in Maputo. Did my university studies in computer engineering at ISCTEM as part-time student. My first work experience was with startup companies during university years before joining a more corporate environment. During that time, I was involved in understanding the business to create innovative IT solutions, processes to support them, and to use stored data to provide valuable insights to decision-makers. My professional career helped me understand that exposure to different markets and ideas leads to innovation. This led me to further my studies. I started post-graduation at UCT where I joined the icomms team and experienced their involvement with communities. This created in me a willingness to join a community-oriented company and Dimagi best represents this a company that strives to positively impact underserved communities around the world.
