Homocentric Group was founded on a simple bet: that world-class engineering can — and should — be built in Africa, for Africa, and exported. Today our teams ship production systems for banks, telcos, governments and global startups.
Kigali, Rwanda
A city that runs on fiber, ambition and afternoon rain.
Software is read more than it's written. We optimize for the next engineer, not the next deadline.
We tell clients what we believe — even when it costs us the contract.
Every project leaves the codebase, the team and the institution stronger.
Two questions sit on every wall in our office. What are we doing today? And where is the work taking us? The first is our mission. The second, our vision.
Engineer the digital infrastructure Africa is choosing to build for itself — and ship it on time.
Build for production, not for pitch.
We deploy what we design. Every demo runs against the same database the customers will.
Hire from here, ship to anywhere.
Our engineers, designers and analysts come from Kigali, Lagos and Accra — and ship to clients on three continents.
Outlast the engagement.
Code, runbooks and decisions are documented so the team that inherits the system never starts from scratch.
An African engineering firm whose work is quoted, not just contracted — at home and abroad.
A continental engineering bench.
Operating teams in five African capitals, capable of staffing any production engagement in 14 days or less.
Civic infrastructure as a portfolio.
Trusted to operate the rails — payments, identity, health records — that institutions depend on.
An export, not an outpost.
Software built in Africa, exported to the world, with the surplus reinvested in the talent that built it.
From a four-person studio in Nyarutarama to a regional firm with global clients.
Founded in Kigali by a team of returning Rwandan engineers.
First regional clients across East Africa; opened the data practice.
Expanded into managed cloud and 24/7 SRE for financial-sector clients.
40+ practitioners; clients across 9 countries on three continents.
No generic stock photography. No anonymous “team” page. The names below ship the software, lead the meetings and answer the 2 a.m. pager — for clients on three continents.
Head of Engineering
“Builds calm teams that ship loud results.”Aline runs the engineering practice. Before Homocentric she led platform teams at two Pan-African fintechs and contributed to the Rwandan instant-payments rails. She still reviews more PRs than anyone else on the team.
Co-founder · Managing Partner
“Sells the work he'd want to receive.”Patrick co-founded Homocentric Group after a decade in the City and Lagos. He spends most of his week with clients and the rest defending the engineers' calendar from meetings.
Co-founder · Head of Design
“Believes a clear interface is a moral position.”Claudine leads design across every engagement. She came home from Stockholm in 2018 with a thesis on civic-tech UX and has been refining it on Homocentric projects ever since.
Principal Engineer
“Has read the manual. Twice.”
Senior Full-stack Engineer
“Ships product as if she were the customer.”
Mobile Engineering Lead
“Cares about the bottom 10% of the bandwidth distribution.”
Lead Data Engineer
“Treats every pipeline like it's headed to court.”
Applied AI Engineer
“Productionises models without the demo magic.”
Senior Product Designer
“Turns research into interfaces that feel inevitable.”
We hire when we meet the right person — not when we run out of capacity.
Our engineers contribute to open source, mentor in local universities and partner with regional accelerators. We believe the talent that builds the next decade of African software is already here.
