A TRIBUTE - TO AWESOMENESS!



Been a while since I walked these streets :) . Freight not I have not gone back home to planet Pluto … Not just yet earthlings. I don’t think I have ever done a blog on an individual and to be honest, the back spacebar has been over used on this writing. Do read on. A rugby player, Egerton graduate and *wait for it,*  A GEEK. Yes, I know that look you have on your face, a geek who is in touch with his athletic side. Super cool if you ask me.

One person to look out for who will be a millionaire very soon. The 4th born in his family, grew up in Tudor, Mombasa and went to Augustine’s preparatory School then Agah Khan High School where he played rugby and was also an active member of the music and drama club. After which he was called to do computer Science at Egerton University in 2005.

That his father was a professional accountant who was keen on providing for his family a solid education was a push in the right direction. In 2012, his father passed away. His mother was into the business which  dealt with fashion and transport ( very interesting combination).

Remember when playing with video games was seen as a waste of study time? No? okay probably because you did not indulge :) . That is where one Mr David Mwawasi’s interest in IT was derived from. The dream was to become a programmer and take over the world like pinky and the brain but the bills gave him the KICK (in inception. If you haven't watched the movie,  erm,... ). A job at ZUKU became the daytime job. Dreams have a way of feeling or looking ooh so elusive :/. Since this is not one of those sad stories ;), there is a silver lining : 


An opportunity to work on a networking project in the UN creeped up on the daytime job and Baam! just like that it was out the window. It was after the project that our geek joined forces with DR samier Muravvej, and NEOTECH was born. Neotech deals with local revolutionary apps and software solution.



The company’s plan is to create revolutionary and impactful IT products unique to the local demographic in all of Africa see what I was talking about, a millionaire in the making! 

Mr. David Mwawasi!
