What I'm looking for

I'm seeking employment where I can use my skills to further the mission of a company.

As an AI researcher in Nairobi, I led research and development of applied machine learning solutions. I designed and trained transformer-based models for NLP tasks, improving F1 scores by 6–9% on benchmark datasets.

I optimized inference pipelines using quantization and distillation, reducing latency by ~35% and model size by up to 60%. I also built MLOps workflows with data versioning, CI/CD, and Kubernetes deployments supporting production workloads.

I implemented active learning and data augmentation strategies that decreased manual labeling needs by ~40%. I collaborated with cross-functional teams to translate research into product features and authored technical reports and an open-source toolkit used by external contributors.
