Samuel Mandillah

I am a budding programmer with a specific interest in leveraging technology to provide solutions to everyday life challenges. I double up as a data science enthusiast who enjoys working with numbers. Sometimes during the analysis, I stumble upon trends, insights, and patterns that are unique which end up giving new meaning to situations and explaining why things appear the way they are and what might happen if just a few things were altered.

I am a scrabble, chess, and monopoly lover. sometimes I write and other times I just travel around and meet people and find new stories to write. When I can't write I read what others have written. You will probably find me in the town library or at the zoo talking to a stranger about the next big thing in tech.

I am currently working on a fintech project with a team of six. We are building a fintech app for the African market that will enable both online and offline money transaction services. The app will also act as an aggregator for all user bank and mobile money accounts. The aim of the project is to introduce free peer-to-peer money transfer services to the African market thus helping boost the lifestyle of common folks and also spearhead the achievement of a cashless society in the pursuit of contactless payment modes.

Personally, I am a machine learning enthusiast with a special interest in predictive analytics. I also enjoy designing and building websites. Currently, I work at Mainstage Incubator as the Tech associate where we are building an ecosystem of news apps focussed on technology and startup news. Of notable mention are the mainstage startup news (https://mainstagenews.app/) app, frankfurt valley app(https://frankfurtvalley.app/), and Africa Valley (https://africavalley.app/) which have gained a lot of traction. I am also the IT lead at AIC RAISE where we are building an ecosystem for startups and innovators.

In the recent past, we worked on a construction estimation app with Panasonic. The app enables people working in the construction industry to estimate the quantities of construction materials required from start to end of a building irrespective of the type of housing. the project is still ongoing.
