@kamauwainaina
Data scientist and AI practitioner skilled in ML, prompt engineering, and data-driven solutions.
KenyaI am a data scientist with hands-on experience training multimodal AI, building dashboards, and delivering actionable analytics for NGOs and research projects.
At OpenAI I contributed to training a multimodal model by authoring and refining 5,000+ detailed prompts, designing image-plus-text tasks, and ensuring prompt clarity and edge-case coverage to improve model reasoning.
I built backend data pipelines and visualizations for an award-winning RShiny opioid dashboard, and developed production-ready APIs and scalable MongoDB architectures for an EdTech solution that received Forbes recognition.
I enjoy turning complex data into practical impact—matching mentors to 1000+ vulnerable adolescents, informing organizational decisions with advanced analysis, and creating tools that improve access to information and learning.
