Why every SME needs a UEM strategy, not just antivirus
Unified endpoint management explained for founders who inherited a stack of unmanaged laptops.
Coming soonThirty years architecting digital transformation for Dell, IBM and Siemens — now building three ventures that carry it forward.
(About)
I spent three decades designing the digital workspaces that global giants like Dell, IBM and Siemens run on — unified endpoint management, hybrid cloud, and the MarTech/CRM stacks that hold a business together. Somewhere along the way I started asking why that same infrastructure never reached the teachers and students who needed it most. So I built the businesses that would.

(The story)
Each one exists because the previous one ran into something it could not solve alone.
1994 — 2021
IBM, Siemens, Westcon, then a decade at Dell Technologies. I spent thirty years learning how enterprises actually run — unified endpoint management, hybrid cloud, the identity and CRM plumbing nobody sees until it breaks. That is the education you cannot buy.
2022
I left to build the layer I kept watching institutions go without. Ken's Virtual Workspace became the hosting and cloud operations backbone; KaribuKloud followed as the security practice, because secure-by-default is a discipline, not a feature you bolt on afterwards.
Throughout
Underneath all of it is something that predates every company: a dedication to education and to empowering children. A printer here, laptops there, a box of geometrical sets — those were never the point. They were evidence. Nabwani Secondary made me Chairman of the Board and Nabwani Primary made me Patron; I applied for neither. Both were a response to a commitment that had already been visible for years.
2025
The Shule Project is what happens when you point enterprise-grade device management at a classroom. Not refurbished hand-me-downs — current, secure, managed devices for teachers and students, funded by donors and run on the same platform that serves my commercial clients.
2026 — 2027
Both Nabwani schools get a fully equipped IT lab by the end of 2026, operational in Q1 2027. That is the near-term promise. The longer one is simple: every school that wants a lab should be able to get one.

(Need a website?)
Not a digital business card that sits there looking pretty. A site with real business logic behind it — automation, workflows, and the same infrastructure discipline I spent thirty years learning at Dell, IBM and Siemens. It is better than anything you are picturing right now.
(Vlogs, not blogs)
Short-form video on cloud architecture, security, and building in Kenya — instead of another blog nobody finishes.
Filming soon
The case for short-form video over the written word — and what to expect from this channel.
Filming soon
A walkthrough of what it actually takes to get secure, current devices into a classroom.
Filming soon

The résumé says solution architect. The rest of the story includes a couple of very opinionated dogs, a race track, and a shamba that does not care about my meeting schedule.
