About Us

“We are a forum of professional Ugandan technicians dedicated to our services. Many of us have decades of experience and training. We are willing to share our knowledge with our fellow technicians through this forum. We take our profession and dedication very seriously and thirst for knowledge is unprecedented. Come and be a part of this growing team.”

— Ronald Kiwanuka, Engineer

Techie consists of several workshops, blogs and/or videos dedicated to various technical topics and is continually updated by its members. On the linked drop site you will find up and down-loadable "How to" videos on, for example, programming different manufacturer modules or a specific diagnostic technique. These types of "How to" videos are an invaluable resource for beginner and advanced technicians.

Our Objectives

    1. To raise the profile of the technical community by increasing the visibility of the technician
    2. Connect individuals who share common interests and perform similar jobs
    3. To create awareness, learn about new technologies and share good practice

The Team

We are a team of professional technicians dedicated to our services. Many of us have decades of experience and training.
