INGABIRE Gloria

A young entrepreneur dedicated to help businesses reach goals by creating and utilizing effective IT solutions in a national and international environment and by combining my knowledge of managing Agile software development and experience in data driven decision making business intelligence. This distinctive combination of knowledge, skills, and experience allow me to build a strong business relationship within the company and with clients, and to exceed expectations in all aspects of my work.

I’ve built my career in a variety of roles and industries, mostly in private, non-profit organizations, educational institutions where I was not just an IT technician but also a research analyst, data scientist, team coordinator, graduate teaching assistant, an instructional video content developer and a software designer and developer.

I love working with software development startups with energetic, dynamic and self-motivated young people. Some of them are EREVU Ltd and E-IGA ltd. As a co-founder of E-IGA Ltd startup, I am currently working as a chief learning officer in a team with the aim of changing and improving the way the world learns though today’s technology. EREVU ltd provides smart point of sales application for tablets.

My specialties: Entrepreneurship, Data sciences, Requirements engineering, Software processes development, Agile software development, Scrum, Software architecture and design, Business innovation and business strategies.

On top of that, I am an education and healthcare service delivery junkie. That passion drove to my top two proud achievements. First, in 2012 I received the gold prize in Rwanda International conference on Technology in Education from Rwanda Education Board for the application solution developed for Rwanda ICT in Education program. Second is my academic project titled “OpenMRS Plus: Open Medical Records for Non-Communicable Diseases” which was published and presented in the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN 2015) conference held in USA, Maryland.

Outside of my professional career, I am a Vice President of Student Network on Population and Development under Rwanda Parliamentarians’ network on Population and development (RPRPD) body, with a crucial role of educating Rwandan community about family planning role in poverty reduction and human development. I like to play my Acoustic Guitar during my free time, swimming as sport and drinking Mango and Banana smoothies.

I possess a MSc Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University and a BSc Computer Science and Systems from National University of Rwanda.
