About

A little about me.

I'm Francis, but most friends call me Cisco. I'm from Tanzania and currently study at Don State Technical University in Russia. I build websites, work on products and help people sort out computer problems.

About

A bit more about me.

Just me, away from the keyboard.- Cisco

Rooted in Tanzania.

My story starts in Tanzania. The people, conversations and everyday problems around me shape the way I approach building for others.

Learning in Russia.

Now enrolled at Don State Technical University, I’m continuing my education while building across languages and perspectives.

Thinking product. Writing code.

At GloboExpats I manage the product and build full-stack with the team. For iPhone Service TZ, I built the entire website independently. Two different ways of taking an idea all the way to the browser.

Work

How I work.

I ask questions before I start building. Who will use this? What do they need to do? Then I work through the design and code, and check it on a phone as well as a laptop.

Education

Don State Technical University

Currently enrolled in Russia.

Journey

Languages

I speak English and Kiswahili fluently, and a little French.

HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND?

What do you have in mind?

Tell me about the website you need or the computer problem you're stuck on. A rough idea is enough to start.
