What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a dynamic Software and Data Engineer with a strong foundation in designing and deploying scalable systems and data solutions. My journey began with a Bachelor of Economics and Statistics from the University of Nairobi, where I developed a keen interest in leveraging technology to tackle complex data challenges. I have honed my skills through various educational pursuits, including a Software Engineering program at ALX Africa and a Data Analysis Nanodegree from Udacity.

Currently, I work as a Data Engineer at Infotrace Analytics, where I scale and maintain Kubernetes infrastructure for model deployments and optimize data streaming using Kafka and RabbitMQ. My experience includes designing ETL pipelines and automating deployment workflows with GitLab CI/CD. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions that meet both technical and business goals, driving efficiency and innovation in every project I undertake.
