About

Technology with purpose

I'm Wanangwa Ernest Chiziwa, working at the intersection of technology, data, and social transformation in Malawi. With a BSc in Business Information Technology from the University of Greenwich, I bring a global perspective to local challenges.

As a Data Analyst for the Malawi Education Reform Program with the World Bank, I leverage data-driven insights to transform educational outcomes. Beyond my professional roles, I'm deeply invested in using technology as a vehicle for sustainable development and community empowerment.

My work spans web development, data analytics, monitoring & evaluation, and social entrepreneurship — always driven by the belief that technology should serve people first.
