I'm Mukiibi Hamza Katende, a digital entrepreneur and product builder based in Uganda. I build digital products, businesses and education systems, and I write about ideas that matter to me.
What I build
Most of my work now happens at QAMFORGE, the technology company I founded in 2025. It builds software, digital business systems and education technology, including Nurave, SALICOURSES and Lumina Learning.
Before QAMFORGE, I founded Uganda Professional Directory (UPD) in 2023, a platform for discovering businesses, professionals, products and services in Uganda.
