Pete Mugasa
Senior Trainee Accountant, Software Engineer
I am a dedicated professional with a strong foundation in both accounting and technology. Currently in my final year as a Senior Trainee Accountant at VSB Edwards Inc., I bring over three years of experience in financial analysis, compliance, and business consulting.
Beyond accounting, I have a passion for coding and problem-solving. I developed Otto an app designed to streamline monthly LORs for trainee accountants, and I’m actively expanding its features. My goal is to merge my expertise in accounting with innovative technology to drive efficiency and provide impactful solutions.
