Hi there! I'm Michael Thuita, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to my corner of the internet. Here, I share my journey with financial literacy, money and the lessons I've learned along the way. But before we dive into all that, let me tell you a bit about myself.

My Story

I have grown up in Kenya, where I developed a deep passion for technology and innovation. This led me to pursue a degree in Informatics and Computer Science at Strathmore University. My time there was transformative, not just because of the academic accolades, but because it fueled my curiosity and love for solving problems.

Professional Path

After graduating, I embarked on a career as a software engineer. I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing teams at Bayes Consulting and Verst Carbon, where I contribute to some pretty cool projects, like developing a platform for the Africa Climate Summit 2023 and creating comprehensive climate tech solutions for carbon projects in Africa.

But one of my proudest achievements is co-founding MulaStack, a Bitcoin savings platform aimed at helping Africans secure their financial future. Leading this project is an incredible journey, filled with challenges and triumphs, and it’s teaching me a lot about resilience, innovation and the power of technology to drive positive change.

Financial Literacy Journey

While my career in tech is a big part of who I am, I’ve also developed a keen interest in financial literacy. Growing up, I saw firsthand the struggles many face due to a lack of financial education and resources. Talking about money wasn't common and many of us stepped into the real world without understanding the fundamentals and psychology of money. This gap inspired me to embark on a mission to demystify money. I'm educating myself and learning in public, hoping to help someone somewhere who might be facing similar challenges.

Through my blog, I aim to share my experiences and insights on money management. Whether it's tips on saving and investing, or navigating the complexities of the financial world, I want to make financial literacy accessible and relatable for everyone.
