TAKING ON 2 PROJECTS THIS QUARTER

Your MEP package shouldn't
come back from council twice.
Hire someone who does it once.

I'm Eng. Mariam Nakyeyune. Twelve years on Ugandan sites, a UIPE stamp, ERA Class B, and a keyboard. I design MEP packages that pass first time, supervise builds that finish on programme, and ship the software firms need but can't justify hiring an agency for. One operator. No subcontracting. My name goes on the work.

About me
"Here's what I can take off your plate."

If you're an architect, you get MEP drawings that pass council first time and don't fight your floor plan. If you're a project engineer or developer, you get a QA/QC supervisor who walks your site, writes the NCRs, and closes them out before your pour. Twelve years across UMEME's national grid, Tilenga, EACOP and SMS Construction — and a UIPE stamp, ERA Class B permit and ISO 19011 Lead Auditor cert to back it up.

And if you're a founder, a firm, or a project lead — you get the software no agency will build for you cheaply enough. I started coding because every site I worked, I watched teams drown in paper. Inspection logs in ringbinders. NCRs on photocopies that never reached the office. Programmes tracked in WhatsApp screenshots. The systems that would fix all of that already exist — they just weren't built for the way Ugandan sites actually run. So I build them. Web apps, mobile apps, internal dashboards, brand sites.

One operator across all of it. The person you brief is the person who does the work — no juniors with my stamp on their drawings, no agencies subcontracting it out. Tell me what's on your desk that shouldn't be.

What I solve

Four problems, one operator.

Most consultants pick a lane and stay in it. I work where engineering meets software because the projects that need both rarely get both — and that gap is where things break.

— PRACTICE 01

MEP Design

For architects who are tired of redrawing around bad consultants

You shouldn't have to explain a single-line to your client. You shouldn't be redrawing your floor plan because your MEP consultant routed a riser through a column. And your drawings should not come back from council twice. I do electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire for buildings of every size — drawings that read at a glance, calculations that hold under audit, and a stamp at the end. First-pass council approval is the baseline, not the achievement.

  • Single-line diagrams & load schedules
  • Lighting & lux design (Dialux Evo)
  • Council approval-ready drawing sets
  • Coordination with structural & architecture
  • True as-builts at handover

Please reach out for drawings of all types. The drawing package you receive will vary based on the intended use of the building — but rest assured: if it's information your artisans and engineers need on site, it will be on the drawings.

QA / QC

For project engineers and architects supervising a build they don't fully trust

The contractor says it's ready to pour. You're not sure. You don't have time to walk the slab yourself, and your junior won't catch what you would. That's when you call me. ISO 19011 Lead Auditor, ISO/IEC 17020 Implementer, ICSS/SCADA QC experience from EACOP and Tilenga. I walk the site, raise the NCRs in writing, and close them out before your pour date. The audit report is the same one I'd want if it were my building.

  • Site & off-site audits
  • Quality plans, ITPs & checklists
  • Witness inspections & commissioning
  • NCR management & closure
  • ICSS / SCADA QC from EACOP & Tilenga

Software that fits

For founders and SMEs who don't need an agency, just someone who'll ship

You have an idea, a deadline, and a budget that doesn't stretch to a six-person agency. You don't need a sales call, a discovery workshop, or a Slack channel with twelve people in it. You need one operator who can scope it, build it, ship it, and answer the phone when something breaks. I do web apps, mobile apps, internal dashboards, and brand sites — for clients who'd rather have a working product in eight weeks than a deck in two. This portfolio you're reading is one of them.

  • Web apps (React, Node.js, TypeScript)
  • Mobile apps (React Native / Expo)
  • Internal dashboards & admin tools
  • Marketing & brand sites
  • Databases & cloud-hosted backends

Training & mentoring

For firms whose draftsmen still can't run a load schedule from a single line

Your staff opens AutoCAD every day. They can draw a wall. They can't produce a load schedule from a single-line, or a riser diagram that an electrician can install from. That's not their fault — they were taught by someone who'd never stamped a drawing. I run practical AutoCAD MEP and QA/QC training for firms and 1:1 mentorship for engineers early in their careers. Every exercise is a real project I've worked, not a textbook example.

  • AutoCAD MEP workshops (online or in-person)
  • QA/QC fundamentals for new auditors
  • Tender & submittal review training
  • 1:1 mentorship for early-career engineers
  • Custom cohorts for firms & institutions

Problems I've already solved for someone like you.

If you see your situation in one of these, that's the point. The names changed, the budgets changed, the deadlines changed — the work didn't.

How we'd work together

From first call to final handover.

No proposal-decks-for-the-sake-of-proposal-decks. No discovery phase that bills for two weeks before anyone draws a line. Here's the actual sequence.

A conversation.

Tell me the project, the deadline, the budget bracket, and what's not been said yet. Twenty minutes on a call or a long WhatsApp thread — whichever you prefer.

— Free

A scope & a number.

I write you a one-page scope and a fee, usually within 48 hours of our call. No pressure to sign — if the fit isn't right, no hard feelings.

— 48 hours

The work itself.

Weekly check-ins, mid-project review at 50%, no week of radio silence. Drawings get marked up, code gets demoed, audits get walked. You know where it stands.

— Project-paced

Handover that holds.

Drawings stamped, code documented, audits closed out, training cohorts wrapped with capstones. You get the full file, not a tease.

— Final

A door left open.

After handover I don't disappear. Questions in month three, support six months later, version two next year — fine. I'd rather know how the work landed.

— Always
Why this works

What you actually get when you hire me.

— 01

No subcontracting.

When you brief me, the person who hears the brief is the person who does the work. No handoffs, no juniors learning on your project, no "my team will get back to you."

— 02

Stamps that hold.

My UIPE registration is on the drawing because I drew it. My ERA Class B permit is on the install because I supervised it. My signature is on the audit because I walked the site. Zero ERA failures on record.

— 03

Engineers writing code.

Most agencies build software that doesn't understand your work. Most engineers build software that doesn't actually function. I do both jobs at once — which is why the tools I ship get used, not shelved.

Credentials

Receipts, briefly.

The qualifications are active and verifiable. I include them because Ugandan procurement asks — not because the work needs them to speak for it.

Tell me what's broken.

Whatever's on your desk — a drawing set, a build, a tool you wish existed — I'd love to hear about it. The first call is always free and there's no pressure to commit. If I'm the right fit we'll talk next steps; if I'm not, I'll happily point you to someone who is.
