A working notebook2026
I'm a full-stack developer who designs. I take products from a sketch in Figma to a Flutter app in someone's hand, a Next.js site that loads on a bad connection, and the Firebase backend quietly holding it all together.
go on, move them around
four products, four very different rooms.
Foreword
Start with the database.
Start at the doorway.
Every product I've shipped started by standing where the user stands: the gate, the front desk, the bench outside a clinic. The schema comes second.
↳ learned this at a ticket gate
Assume good Wi-Fi.
Design for the worst connection in the room.
Plenty of the people I build for are on a phone that's also a torch, a radio and a mobile-money wallet. Offline-ready isn't a feature. It's respect.
↳ 3 bars on a good day
Ship it and move on.
Ship it, then go watch someone use it.
The printer jam, the confused double-tap, the question nobody expected. That's where the next version comes from, not the roadmap.
↳ v2 always lives here
The chapters
Chapter 01 · 2026
Getting a whole crowd through the gate, and not one fake ticket.
Flentra was already running events when it reached my desk at Pinnisoft. With the team, I redesigned it and made it steadier, so the gate stays fast and fraud-proof on the busiest nights.
Chapter 02 · 2026
Maternal care that doesn't stop where the road does.
A mother in rural Luwero deserves the same antenatal guidance as a mother in Kampala. Bulamu Bridge pairs careful AI with the nurses and health workers communities already trust.
Chapter 03 · 2026
A women's health companion, in your pocket and on the web.
Cycle tracking, pregnancy week-by-week, an AI you can ask the awkward questions, and a nurse when you need a human. I built the web side and redesigned the app, so it all feels like one product.
Chapter 04 · 2026
From a registration list to a printed badge in under five seconds.
Most conferences in East Africa still check people in from printed lists. Badrica turns the front desk into a scan, a verify and a badge, with access rules printed right onto it.
Still in the drawer
