Dedicated Software Engineer with strong experience in Python and JavaScript.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Software Engineer with a strong background in Python, JavaScript (ReactJS), and cloud-native technologies. My journey in software development has been marked by a proven ability to build, evaluate, and optimize scalable software systems. Currently, I am eager to contribute to AI-driven innovations at AI Revolution by developing, refining, and annotating data for large language model training.
In my role at NairoTech Solutions, I have developed and reviewed AI training datasets, curated code samples, and designed scalable backend solutions using Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS Lambda. My collaboration with researchers and data scientists has allowed me to evaluate AI-generated code effectively. I have also integrated ReactJS frontends with cloud-native backend services, maintained CI/CD pipelines, and utilized tools like Docker and Kubernetes to enhance our development processes.
Previously, as a Junior Software Developer at AfriCode Labs, I built internal tooling and automation scripts, supported chatbot development using NLP frameworks, and enhanced cloud infrastructure for model deployment. My educational background includes a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Nairobi and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
