KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an interdisciplinary data scientist with a PhD in Machine Learning, dedicated to combining my expertise in applied research and algorithmic innovation to drive impactful projects. My experience spans diverse contexts, from large-scale geospatial modeling to telematics-based driver risk analysis, showcasing my ability to lead projects from inception to completion.
As the Co-founder and CTO of AiCare Telematics, I spearheaded the development of a real-time tracking dashboard and a GPS-based driver scoring engine. My leadership in national-scale data science projects has resulted in significant insights, such as identifying overspeed trends and mapping high-risk zones, which have informed insurer scoring models and enhanced road safety.
In addition to my technical skills in Python, SQL, and various machine learning frameworks, I have a strong foundation in civil engineering and architecture, which complements my data science expertise. I am passionate about leveraging data to solve complex problems and contribute to innovative solutions that make a difference.
