Executive Summary

Rodin's Architecture

Kigali, Rwanda · Open to opportunities · Contract alumni: EchoSols · Loxotech · RTB

I am Uwonkunda Mahinga Rodin—a Software, DevOps, and Machine Learning engineer based in Kigali. Through contract and part-time engagements with Aphezis, Loxotech, and Rwanda TVET Board, I have designed scalable APIs, hardened delivery pipelines (including Azure-oriented cloud workflows), and shipped data-driven systems for AI and IoT. I am now seeking full-time roles where rigorous engineering meets executive-grade product leadership.
