About
Kizito Udeinya
I am a civil engineer and software developer based in Abuja, and I practise both. I graduated in civil engineering from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, with Second Class Honours (Upper Division). On site, I have worked as assistant site engineer on the design and construction of a five-bedroom duplex. I have also worked on the supervision of piling and retaining walls, and inspected road and structural works on FCDA projects with Gilmor Engineering. In software, I have built REST APIs at RatedAfrika, plastic-detection models for NIOMR and a grant-funded health app, and I am the sole developer of Sendsfe, an operations platform for small businesses. I am studying for an M.Eng. in Renewable and New Energy Systems at ACE-SPED, University of Nigeria.
