About
Bruce Nduko
Co-Founder & CTO, Tija Labs · Nairobi, Kenya
I'm a 19-year-old student and founder based in Nairobi, Kenya. I'm reading BSc Computer Science at Zetech University (Class of 2029), and separately working through Udacity's Masters in Artificial Intelligence (In progress).
I care about the informal economy and productivity because that's where most of the work in Kenya actually happens, and it's the part of the economy that has the least tooling built for it. At Tija Labs I'm co-founder & cto — i own product, engineering, infrastructure, and shipping.
I design, build, and ship end-to-end: product decisions, engineering, infrastructure, and deployment. I work AI-assisted — pairing with tools like Claude and Codex to move fast — but I own the architecture, the security, and the decisions myself.
