I’m ANZURUKU JACOB, a full-stack developer building offline-first and low-bandwidth products for emerging markets, where connectivity and device limitations are real daily constraints. I’ve learned that through volunteering as a teacher in Nimule, South Sudan, where the lack of accessible digital learning resources pushed me to create Sudd Library and later expand the same offline-first approach into local commerce with SokoNort. I enjoy turning complex constraints into reliable, user-friendly systems—from architecture and testing to deployment on platforms like Firebase and Cloudflare. I also use AI-assisted development to move quickly while I stay responsible for quality through hands-on QA, verification, and careful iteration, and I’m currently completing my Computer Science degree to strengthen the fundamentals behind that process.

    Sudd Library

    Sudd Library is an open-access, offline-first educational platform I built after volunteering as a teacher in Nimule, South Sudan, and seeing how few digital resources existed there in the national curriculum.

    The problem: Schools were relying on Ugandan and Kenyan materials because South Sudanese curriculum content simply easily accessible digitally.

    What I built: A lightweight, offline-first web platform (built with Astro) that stays usable in low-bandwidth environments — structured and indexed lesson notes, schemes of work, and learning resources across subjects and grade levels.

    Status: Live and actively serving students and educators. Ongoing outreach with partner organizations (e.g. Teachers Without Borders) to expand available content.
