We are pleased to welcome Nelson Okello, the Tech team’s new Back-End Developer and Vytas Bradunas, our new Research and Prototyping Developer from the US.

Nelson joined REFUNITE’s Tech Team in February and his work involves developing server side services for web and mobile. Prior to joining REFUNITE, he worked for TransUnion (Nairobi), World Bank Group and the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development.

So far, working at REFUNITE has been his most challenging and exciting experience as he gets to work with a multi-skilled and passionate team. Nelson hopes that in the next few months he will be able to provide a robust notification platform for the REFUNITE family reconnection service.

He has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science from Egerton University and a Masters Degree in Computer Science from the University of Nairobi.
