Founder, Bridgetree · Former Senior iOS Engineer, Safaricom M-PESA
Kevin founded Bridgetree after 6+ years shipping enterprise mobile apps across fintech, healthcare and SaaS. As a Senior iOS Engineer at Safaricom he architected key features for the M-PESA app: secure payment modules, government service integrations and scalable MVVM-Coordinator architecture. He has also shipped production apps for the UK's NHS, a Saudi digital bank and US restaurant SaaS platforms, and trained Saudi Digital Academy cohorts through Coding Dojo.
Bridgetree Technologies is a Kenyan mobile software company. We build apps for clients and teach the same tools, patterns and standards in class.
November and January intakes. Pick the start date that suits you; each cohort is capped, so seats go in the order applications are confirmed.
Pick your track and start date. It takes two minutes and there's nothing to pay.
A real person confirms your track and start date and answers your questions, usually within a day.
When you're ready, pay month 1 by M-Pesa to Paybill 880100, account 1009174147. Months 2 and 3 are due by the Monday of weeks 5 and 9.
Foundation cohorts take 15–20 students, Professional 10–15.
No registration or hidden fees. Prefer to pay in full? Pay all three months up front. M-Pesa Paybill accepted.
Start your applicationMany of our students are sponsored by a parent, a relative or their employer. We make it easy to pay for them and to see that the money is well spent.
Pay each month by M-Pesa Paybill using the student's name as the account. We send an M-Pesa receipt for every payment, and employers can ask for an invoice.
With the student's agreement, we send you a short update each month: attendance, the apps they've built and notes from the instructor.
Every student finishes with a published app and a GitHub portfolio, so you can open and try exactly what they built.
Applying for someone? Use their name and WhatsApp number, and pick who's paying in step 2.
Free to apply. No payment needed. We'll WhatsApp you to confirm your track and start date.
We'll WhatsApp you on , usually within a day, to confirm your track and start date and answer any questions.

M-Pesa shows the recipient as NCBA BANK. That's correct: it's Bridgetree's account at NCBA.
The 10-character code at the start of your M-Pesa message. If a sponsor paid, use the code from their message.
We'll match M-Pesa code with our bank statement and confirm your seat on WhatsApp, usually the same day.
Want it faster? Send us your confirmation on WhatsAppLearn to code by building games, then publish your own game on Google Play.
Planned for KCSE leavers (daytime classes from January, in the gap before university) and university and college students (evenings and weekends). We'll only run it if enough people join the waitlist, so add your name to help make it happen.
We'll WhatsApp you as soon as the game development dates and price are set. Want to start coding sooner? Our Foundation Track starts from zero, with intakes starting 9 November and 11 January.
