I started contributing to OpenStreetMap in 2012 after attending a Mapping Party in Kampala, later on becoming an active member of the local community in Uganda, which has grown into a non-profit organization in Uganda where I previously served on the board. Since 2015 I have been working with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, where I currently serve as the Community Projects Lead. I am an active member of OpenStreetMap Africa, a network of local communities across Africa working together to organize the bi-annual State of the Map Africa conference that happened in Kampala, Uganda in 2017 and in Abidjan, Ivory Coast in 2019. I am a member of the OSMF Microgrants committee and a member of the Local Chapters and Communities Working Group. I am also a member of the Wikimedia Community User Group in Uganda.
