Jebale ko! (greetings) I'm Sipho.
I'm a builder, an innovator and a writer.
Come see what I've been building.
A bit about me
the two-minute version
I'm a builder from Kampala, now in the UK. I write code, I write words, and every so often I get on a stage and do both at once.
By title I'm a DevRel Engineer at LI.FI, helping developers build on cross-chain infrastructure. By habit I'm a founder, shipping real products: a lending protocol, a school platform, and my first mobile app.
Off the keyboard I collect watches, read more than I finish, and follow Jesus. The motto under the family crest is how I try to work: Coram Deo, before the face of God.

Wise sayings from home

Coram Deo
My faith and belief in Jesus Christ forms the foundation of everything that I do in life. I work, build, write and rest “Coram Deo”: before the face of God. I see every task as stewardship and responsibility given to me by the Lord and I aspire above all else to manifest His Kingdom here on Earth through all that I do.
I write about scripture at Ready Scribe: long-form prophetic meditations and teachings on the Word of God. Come read along.

Kind words
from people I've worked with
In my experience, I have found Sipho very serious, dexterous, and committed to his work. He has shown great self-motivation, ambition and determination to accomplish his tasks and to fulfil his obligations.
Working with Sipho has been exceptional! Throughout his internship, he has consistently demonstrated organizational skills, delivering high-quality work promptly. His positive attitude and dedication to excellence makes him a valuable asset to any team. It's been a pleasure working with Sipho.
Sipho is a dynamic individual, brimming with creativity. Sipho's commitment to excellence is unwavering, ensuring that every task is executed to the highest standard. His problem-solving skills are exceptional, often thinking beyond conventional boundaries to provide innovative solutions.
I like that Sipho has a structured approach to things, and will document things to the detail, a very scarce attribute. Sipho is keen on continuous improvement, grasps concepts very easily, and is willing to ask and research those he is unsure of. I enjoy the value he brings to meetings, beyond the scope of his assignments.
