KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Sancom Limited, I develop and maintain client and server software, lead product R&D, and deploy dedicated on-premise and cloud servers. I also design data-centre infrastructure and Cisco campus network environments.
Previously at Opticom Kenya Limited, I built scalable full-stack platforms with databases and servers, tested and debugged applications, and designed a cyber-range lab and identity-management system for KDF. My work spans Java, JavaScript, HTML, PHP, C, Python, SQL, and production infrastructure.
I've also taught computer science, data analysis, and mathematics to university students, making complex concepts clear through Python, R, SPSS, SQL, and Advanced Excel. I'm seeking to apply my coding, debugging, code-review, and technical communication skills to training and evaluating AI models.
