I build AI-powered developer and agricultural platforms using RAG, backend systems, and real-time applications.
RwandaWhat I'm looking for
At Icog Labs, I built an AI coding assistant for the MeTTa programming language using RAG, reaching 91% benchmark accuracy and reducing response latency from 16 seconds to 8 seconds. I deployed the platform for 200+ internal developers and integrated an MCP server for Claude Code.
I've also improved genomic variant annotation workflows for Rejuve.Bio by 66%, built literature-mining capabilities that improved LLM accuracy by 40%, and led the team behind AgriLo, a multilingual AI agricultural assistant that won national and international hackathons.
