@ProfNandaa: About

I'm Anthony Nandaa, a software developer/architect. More than all, I'm a disciple of CHRIST.

Quick Facts about Me:

Currently, I'm a Technical Team Lead at Andela, leading a team in building internal software.
June 2012 - Mar, 2015 - I was working at C4DLab (employee #1) and School of Computing & Informatics (UoN) as a Graduate Assistant mainly involved with software development, teaching assistance and mentorship; then I pivoted from the path to being a university lecturer.
Started iTech2020 Inc (Dec, 2006) back in the village, then joined with a friend of mine (@MurayaKamau - primary, high School and village-mate) to transition it into Deveint Ltd (2008). Now it's slowly becoming an established digital agency and software development house.
In my free part time, I run my private innovation lab called Beyonde Labs.
Play bass at Ahadi Band and Calvary Chapel Nairobi.
Workaholic (hard to admit), non-conformist and a gracious perfectionist.
Simple, minimalistic and lean.
