At KenGen Plc, I automated the staff vehicle insurance renewal process, saving the team significant time and ensuring 100% accuracy. I also designed a data platform that streamlined business intelligence operations, reducing manual data acquisition efforts by 95%.

In my role as a Data Science Contractor at Prospect 33, I collaborated on projects that involved predicting financial metrics and managing data uploads to KDB databases. My freelance projects include developing a real-time question management app and various machine learning models that have significantly improved operational efficiencies for clients.
