S Hashmi, Founder of Kiwi

S Hashmi is the founder of Kiwi and a former registered care manager with 15 years of hands-on experience.

After more than a decade managing care homes, one thing became painfully clear: care software was supposed to make life easier, but more often than not, it did the opposite.

With a lifelong passion for technology and a background in business, the idea for Kiwi was born: software built from real experience, for people who actually work in care.

He writes Kiwi's guides for care home managers, from the floor: what to record, what inspectors look for, and how to get it right first time.
