Top SchoolIsmaili Simba is a versatile full-stack developer and development consultant based in Dar es-Salaam with nine years of experience blending technical delivery, digital marketing, and fund-raising advisory. He has raised over $5M in concessional funding and helped clients secure multi-million dollar grants by producing proposals, financial models, pitch decks and donor-ready reporting.
