This tech consulting firm specializes in cybersecurity training for African institutions and offers additional services including digital infrastructure development, tailored software solutions for emerging markets, and data analytics consulting.

With an extensive background in technology, Kambale also serves as an analyst at the Center for Research on Congo, one of the oldest Congolese think tanks. He studies the impact of Kwame Nkrumah's legacy on Ghana’s development and the exploitation of DRC’s mineral resources—crucial for modern technologies like smartphones and electric vehicles— at the dawn of the 4th Industrial Revolution and their implications for modern technology, noting the impact this has had with the loss of life of millions of Congolese since 1996.

As a techno-activist, Kambale tackles key challenges within the tech sector, advocating for enhanced digital security and the empowerment of technological infrastructures across Africa. His efforts extend beyond technical proficiency, involving thought leadership and strategic consultations to foster technological innovations and solutions.

While Kambale is recognized for his human rights advocacy and social entrepreneurship, his primary focus is on advancing technological achievements and promoting a secure, progressive technological environment in Africa. His approach combines deep technological expertise with a commitment to using technology for societal improvement and justice. He emphasizes the strategic importance of DRC’s resources, advocating for responsible and equitable practices that benefit local communities and contribute positively to the global technological landscape.
