About
I am Eric John Nimba, a Nairobi-based software engineer at the African Group of Negotiators Experts Support (AGNES), focused on building products that are beautiful enough to trust, simple enough to use, and strong enough to support real work.
How I Work
I care about interfaces that are easy to understand, backends that are reliable, and products that solve real operational problems without unnecessary complexity.

Publications
Policy commentary on climate accountability, AI governance, and the design of digital systems that public institutions can trust.
Africa Does Not Need Another Climate Dashboard. It Needs Evidence That Projects Deliver.
Why climate-monitoring systems must connect public spending, project evidence and community outcomes.
The future of climate accountability is not a prettier screen. It is a trustworthy chain of decisions and outcomes.
