BBIT was the perfect course for me, I was looking for a combination of the two passions I had in business and IT. I was very excited when I joined Strathmore. I did my community based attachment which is mandatory for all Strathmore students, in Egypt through AIESEC. My whole kind of thinking shifted during this experience. I started CLEM Creative Computing in order to bring my different ideas into the world. The business offers different products that include; PesaWay – a product we partnered with a bank to offer bulk collection, bulk payments, escrow services and a point of sale system currently being used by Eveready East Africa Limited, and finally we customize systems for other clients. My partner and I developed our company from earning about Kshs. 700, 000 per year to about Kshs. 3.8 million in a span of one year. We started the company with two people but now we are 11 people.
