WORK EXPERIENCE
Management of information systems and data
I have participated in establishing, management and maintenance of various software at the University such as, Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), student information system( SUASIS), SUA health information system( INAYA) and other prototypes.
Development and maintenance of the University wide website (2005 up to date)
The University website was aimed to collect, store and sharing information from various scientific research, technology developments and innovation. As technical IT team leader, developed and maintained the University Wide Website which comprised of departments, colleges and projects. Combination of technologies such as Drupal, WordPress and Joomla are key technologies in the maintenance and establishment of these websites.
Management of ICT infrastructure (2005 up to date)
The University ICT infrastructure is a very large infrastructure which supports not less than ten thousands (10,000) of users (students, staff and guests).
As technical IT team leader, developed reliable, available and secured IT infrastructure. The ICT infrastructure has enabled the University Research Community to document research findings, to share newsletters and posters, to upload journals on online platforms, to collect research data, to assist academic reading and other academic and research issues. Various technologies have been applied such as the use of CISCO switches to create excellent logical Local Area Network (LAN) and enhanced security.
Development and maintenance of e-repositories using DSPACE technology(2011 -up to date)
Repositories are electronic containers for documentation and sharing of information related to a scientific researches, technology and innovation.
As technical IT team leader, developed and maintained Tanzania Climate Change Information Repository (TaCCIRe). This repository provides access to research information on climate change relevant to Tanzania. It includes a wide range of documents such as policy documents, scholarly articles, technical reports, and theses. The repository aims at enhancing accessing to documentation and information from Change, Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation (CCIAM) programme. CCIAM is a collaborative programme of five institutions: Ardhi University (ARU), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) in Tanzania and Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).
Also developed SUA Institutional repository (SUA IR). This repository was aimed to collect, preserve and disseminate scholarly output generated by University research community (staff and students) members. This repository hosts a variety of openly accessible materials including: scholarly articles and books, theses and dissertations, conference proceedings and technical reports
