I'm Bonaventure, founder of Mctaba Labs, an Africa-First technology company headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. We build, ship, and teach the engineering systems that will power Africa's next decade.
I've taught 30,000+ students across multiple platforms, most recently as Senior Facilitator at HyperionDev. Today I split my time between architecting Mctaba's owned SaaS products, training engineering teams across Kenyan companies, and shipping production software on the African Stack - M-Pesa, Paystack, WhatsApp Business API, Africa's Talking, and USSD.
Long-term mission: 1M students trained by 2030 · 15,000 working engineers placed by 2035.

Africa-First engineering is what I specialize in. The continent needs infrastructure that meets the market where it actually is - mobile money, low-data UX, conversational interfaces, and offline-tolerant systems.
