KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a PMP-certified project manager and ILO SIYB Certified Trainer focused on applying AI to transform education and product experiences across diverse regions. I build AI-powered applications using foundation models like Claude and GPT, and translate complex technical concepts into accessible learning materials.
My work spans product ownership and project management for fintech and educational platforms, leading remote, cross-cultural teams and managing programs serving thousands of users. I design and deliver structured learning journeys, having trained cohorts of 40–51 participants to adopt new tools and practices.
I have led end-to-end delivery for technology initiatives, authored product documentation (PRDs, technical specs, roadmaps), and applied prompt engineering to optimize model responses for local contexts. I received the PMI Kenya Young Professional Award in 2022 for excellence in project delivery and community contribution.
I am passionate about equitable access to emerging technologies and community empowerment through facilitative training. I combine program management rigor, partnership development, and educational design to drive adoption and measurable impact.
