IRANZI Thierry
Design & Software engineer · Kigali, Rwanda
I design and build software products end to end: the interface, the web and mobile apps, and the systems behind them.

About
I take a product from a blank page to production: brand and interface, web and mobile apps, payments, and the infrastructure underneath.
Today I’m the founder of Instant Cloud (opens in a new tab), cloud hosting where every git push is built and served over HTTPS. It’s my main project and where most of my time goes.
At 18 I founded Cognova AI, an AI assistant that answers a business’s customers on its website and WhatsApp. It was acquired by On Mark TT Enterprises Limited.
From 2025 to October 2026 I led product and engineering for cowtic (opens in a new tab), a Swiss event-ticketing platform, at Siebenberge (opens in a new tab). I built it from the first commit: the web app, the public API and an iOS check-in app on the App Store. In 2025 I also worked part-time at Polar (opens in a new tab)
I’ve also shipped Payol (opens in a new tab), payouts, payroll and invoices on mobile money, and KayFeed (opens in a new tab), a private campus app for Kent State students.
