About Vicky Uwase ISINGIZWE

Hello! I am a technology professional and researcher with a passion for cybersecurity, Machine Learning, software development, and digital inclusion. I hold a Master’s in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University and a First-Class Honors Bachelor’s in Information Systems from the University of Rwanda. My journey into programming began in high school in 2015, and I’ve continued to pursue this passion through my academic and professional endeavors.

As a Laidlaw Scholar since 2019, I worked on the TUZA Electronic Payment System (TUZA EPS) project as part of the program, focusing on digital payment solutions. I am currently a Research Associate at CMU-Africa, where I work on rural broadband connectivity and community networks, striving to bridge the digital divide and enhance access to technology in underserved areas.

Beyond my professional work, I find joy in supporting and mentoring others. I enjoy playing squash, going to the gym, and attending Church Sunday service. My goal is to continue leveraging my skills to make a positive impact in the tech industry and contribute to the growth and development of others.
