The operating system for African aviation

Avicore is an aviation intelligence platform engineered specifically for East African pilots, operators, flight schools and regulators. Global aviation platforms are designed for North American and European airspace. Avicore is built for where we actually fly.
Why
Bush-strip operations, KCAA regulatory requirements, offline reliability, localised weather and density altitude: none of the existing tools account for any of it. Avicore closes that gap by connecting the East African aviation ecosystem in a single intelligence network.
What it does
- Airstrip intelligence: runway data, weather, density altitude and AI-generated safety assessments for each strip.
- Community reporting: pilot-generated reports on conditions, fuel availability, wildlife, security and hazards.
- Digital pilot passport: centralised management of licences, ratings, medical certificates and logbooks.
- Aviation intelligence map: real-time visualisation of airports, bush strips, weather overlays and live pilot reports.
What I led
- Overall product vision and architecture, built alongside an experienced East African commercial pilot co-founder.
- The AI safety assessment pipeline for airstrip conditions.
- The geospatial data model covering East African airports and bush strips.
- Offline-first design for the connectivity realities of bush operations.
