What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying AI and data skills to sustainable agriculture or EdTech in collaborative, mission-driven teams with growth and learning opportunities.

I am an agricultural economist with certified training in AI, machine learning, and software development, focused on building data-driven solutions for sustainable agriculture and education. I combine academic rigour from my BSc in Agricultural Economics with practical technical skills—Python, SQL, data visualization, and web development—to translate complex data into actionable insights.

I have hands-on experience as a part-time graphic designer producing visuals for agricultural development programs and have supported major tech events through volunteer tech and logistics roles. I am collaborative, adaptable, and eager to contribute interdisciplinary expertise to teams working on smart agriculture, EdTech, or open-source AI projects.
