Founder & CEO The agency driving Africa's digital future
Founded in 2015 in Conakry, Kalinko Labs supports public organizations and private companies in their digital transformation with rigor and results.
Digital excellence for Africa
Founded in 2015 in Conakry, Kalinko Labs builds software for organizations working under African constraints: intermittent power, costly bandwidth, and systems that have to run for years without a rewrite.
We combine artificial intelligence, custom development, and strategic consulting, and we define how success is measured before the project starts.

11 years building what Africa's biggest institutions actually ship
Central banks, telcos, and UN agencies keep working with us because we understand what breaks at scale on this continent, and we build for it from the start.
Start your transformation We've seen the graveyard
BCRG, Orange Guinea, UNICEF, and AfDB came to us after earlier projects stalled. We know what holds up in African infrastructure because we have shipped it and kept it running.
Strategy before a single line of code
We spend the first weeks on the hard questions about scope, data, and failure modes, which is why the systems we ship are still running years later.
Built to outlast the contract
We hold a GITEX Africa Award and a Google Cloud Partner badge, and the systems we shipped in 2016 are still in production today.
What sets us apart
- Pragmatic InnovationWe pick the technology that fits the problem. Some of our most durable systems run on boring, battle-tested infrastructure.
- Technical ExcellenceHigh standards don't stop at the border. Our systems pass the same engineering scrutiny as anything built for Geneva or San Francisco, then get hardened for what Conakry throws at them.
- Measurable ImpactWe define KPIs before kickoff. If we can't agree on how success is measured, we won't take the project.
- Lasting PartnershipMost of our clients from 2015 are still clients today, because the systems we build outlive the contract that paid for them.
