I take part in organizing and troubleshooting the electronics to be mounted on the electric bikes. I also do a follow-up on our clients and to track performance of our products.

I chose Engineering because it was a calling ever since childhood. I was curious to know why the gadgets in the house behave the way they did. For example, I wanted to know why the radio volume varied when I played with the tuning knobs and with time I realized I was always interested in learning more about these gadgets, hence choosing an engineering course in the field of electronics.

I went to the International University of East Africa. I have a bachelors degree in Mobile and Satellite Communications Engineering

It's awesome! Responding to clients' emails and taking in clients' orders. Taking visitors through what we do at the workplace and taking orders from customers. It's really fun.

Being an engineer is so fun, every day is an opportunity to learn something new and learning something new comes with challenges which makes us even more knowledgeable.

As an electronics engineer in a world of changing technology, you always have to keep on trend. As I said I love challenges, so am always challenged to make more research.

I am from an extended, humble family in Uganda, well known for loving God and caring for the community.

My short term goal is to start my own company in 3 years to come.

My long term goal is to have people in the remote areas of Uganda and Africa appreciate technology by organizing Tech camps to both the old and young generation because we are living in a technologically developing world. Tech is becoming MUST! In these camps, the young generation will be trained in local production so as to minimize imports.

My biggest inspiration has been my name, AYE is a Luo word for "I BELIEVE." Whenever things get tough and I am almost giving up I am reminded to believe in myself. Growing up my Grandma always told me to believe in myself and that I can do whatever I think of.

Young lady, you can do it. Grab your chance now and don't let it go.

I love swimming, travelling, reading and spending my time with children because they have very brilliant ideas.
