About Edison Taimu

Edison Taimu is a Malawian dietitian based in Zomba, Malawi. Edison holds a BSc in Nutrition & Dietetics (Hons), Pioneer Cohort, from Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS), formerly the University of Malawi College of Medicine, completed on 26 August 2026. Edison is open to dietetic internship placements on the path to becoming a Registered Dietitian, and is a self-taught developer who builds free clinical nutrition software for Malawi.

During clinical rotations Edison found dietary recalls, food composition lookups and nutrition care plans were being done by hand, and began building software to automate that work. What started as a 24-hour recall calculator became Oasis CNST. Edison works across clinical dietetics and public health nutrition, from bedside care plans to population-level nutrition data.
