Eric Makuyi, IT Support and Training Coordinator

Eric joined us permanently in his role as IT Specialist in 2022, but has worked with AIA as an IT Technician since 2019 and provides digital literacy training to staff, interns, and students who frequent The Center. Beyond this work, Eric has provided advice and consultation on both physical and digital technologies that will help improve the way The Center runs and helps with repairs. He is instrumental in bringing our community members into the 21st century and ensuring AIA’s interns are well prepared for the technological demands of university. Eric’s work has been vital in helping our staff to adjust to virtual tools throughout the COVID-19 lockdowns so that we could continue to serve our community. Eric’s favorite part of working for AIA is the opportunity his work with us offers him to drive change through imparting knowledge.

Eric holds a Bachelors of Information Technology from Makerere University in Kampala and served as an ICT Technician, Trainer, and Teacher prior to and during his work with AIA. He is personally driven by the idea and practice of sharing technology skills and supporting individuals to build those skills. Outside of work, Eric enjoys sports, music, and traveling.
