Software for the world outside the IDE.

I build offline-first software, Kinyarwanda tools, and things people can actually use.
From Kigali, with a little curiosity.

Local-first thinking. Real-world problems.

A little room to play Because curiosity should be rewarded.

THE WORK / SELECTED PROJECTS

Ideas, made usable.

Nine projects. Different problems, one approach: make software useful in the world people actually live in. Open a workspace, explore the product, and try it for yourself.

README / THE HUMAN

Made in Kigali.
Built for real life.

I'm Gacaca Godwin. I build software that works when the network doesn't — with Kinyarwanda first and a budget Android as the target device.

What matters to me

A product should fit the people using it. That means thinking about connectivity, language, payments, and the everyday details that decide whether software is useful.

My work spans offline-first web apps, hospitality systems, public transport, African publishing, and language tools.

Still learning. Always building.

I'm studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Rwanda. I also write novels and build the tools that turn them into printed books.

BEYOND THE CODE / WRITING

Some stories need
more than code.

I write books too. Fiction, history, learning, and the things that stay with us. I also built a Python typesetting pipeline for print-ready interiors and covers.
