For years I have been obsessed with how technology shows up in different places. At this point I am obsessed with excellence. If we are going to build technology for the African continent, it has to be built in excellence, and it has to be built at scale.

(01) Now

Right now I do this work in insurance.

I am Group CTO and co-founder of Auto Audit Group. I have held the role since April 2025. The group was established in 2015. I run the technology.

Quanta360 is where that work sits. What we build has to be useful for the insurers, the brokers and agents, and eventually the vehicle owner.

(03) The example

Mobile money was built in Africa. A phone became a normal way to hold and send money here before the markets that export software treated it that way. I did not build it. It is the example I keep.
