Felix Kitaka

Kampala, Uganda

I build technology, tell stories, and help people make sense of what comes next.

I'm Felix Kitaka—a software engineer, entrepreneur, writer, and speaker working at the meeting point between global excellence and local relevance.

A little context

Building from Kampala

I live in Kampala with my family. In 2009, I left university to find out whether there was another way to build a meaningful life. I've been figuring that out ever since.

Along the way, I spent more than a decade building software, including senior engineering roles at ThoughtWorks, Andela, and Headspace. Most of my work now happens through Audersity Studios, a technology and media company I founded in 2019.

Selected work

Ideas made tangible

Language AI, voice technology, and media rooted in African languages and everyday realities.

Speaking

Making change easier to understand

I speak about what artificial intelligence is changing, what it means for Africa, and how people and organizations can prepare.

My wife and I make an unscripted podcast about becoming one in marriage through honest conversations about faith, family, money, and the life we are building together.
