What I'm looking for

I'm interested in climate and atmospheric sciences, applied mathematics, statistics, and data-driven decision-making.

At Climate Adaptation Research and Consulting, I develop climate risk assessment, management, and adaptation pipelines. My work builds on training in data science and atmospheric and climate science.

For my AIMS Rwanda thesis, I’m developing and evaluating index insurance models using crop, climate, and environmental data to assess agricultural climate risk and support climate resilience in African farming systems.

At the Rwanda Space Agency, I assisted with climate and atmospheric data analysis and supported environmental monitoring and research. My projects also include semantic search using latent semantic analysis and numerical simulations of ion-acoustic solitary waves in Python.
