What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow within teams that build practical, accessible AI—combining Python/ML engineering, open-source collaboration, and real-world deployments—while contributing to research impact and community education.

I’m building an AI Hub in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, focused on making artificial intelligence accessible to local developers, students, and businesses across East Africa. My work spans AI tools, business automation, research, and community education, and I bring it to life through instruction at Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST).

I’m also a Google Summer of Code 2026 contributor to DIPY, contributing scientific Python work via merged pull requests that improve documentation and support neuroscience researchers worldwide. In parallel, I’ve founded and led a 150+ member technical community, and I’ve led technical delivery—from an IoT-to-insight FastAPI + Scikit-learn Random Forest pipeline for real-time water quality prediction to coordinating an AI-powered AMR surveillance initiative and translating technical AI/ML into clear, funder-ready proposals.
