Building  Exceptional  User  Experiences  with  Code.  

I’m Marcel Gatete — a seasoned software engineer and tech founder based in Rwanda, and obsessed with building tools that actually make life easier. I’ve helped power systems like UrubutoPay, Rwanda’s top payment gateway, and Smart Nkunganire, which modernizes the country's agri-input value chain. Currently, I'm serving as a Tech Lead at BK Techouse. On the side, I’m building CareLogic to make clinic management smarter and Kazispace to simplify how people get hired. I love clean, scalable systems, a touch of AI magic, and turning big problems into elegant solutions.

About Me

A Peek Into My World

In the lab...

At the moment, I'm juggling a few fun things.
