About Me

I'm a digital health project coordinator at PATH, an international organization working to improve global health. I am responsible for the national coordination of the TAP/CDC project, which aims to support the HIV/AIDS program. I oversee the implementation of an electronic medical record and the updating of the HIV module in DHIS2, a health information system used in over 70 countries. I also support the country in data exchange and security standards, in general, and personal data, in particular.

Before joining PATH, I worked for over six years at BlueSquare, a company specializing in digital transformation in healthcare. There, I held the position of project manager for the datascience team, where I contributed to the implementation of innovative solutions for monitoring and evaluating healthcare programs in several African countries. I was also in charge of digitizing statistical data analysis and visualization processes for the internal control department of the Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Professional Education/DINACOPE.

I hold a master's degree in management science from HEC Liège, after obtaining a bachelor's degree in computer science from ISIPA and a master's degree in computer science from the Université Libre de Kinshasa. I'm interested in all aspects of data-driven management, and firmly believe that the right decisions can only be made if our data is properly analyzed and presented. I have mastered several tools and programming languages, such as DHIS2, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and R, which enable me to create high-performance data systems adapted to users' needs.
