What I'm looking for

I am a skilled Computer Scientist with a strong foundation in data engineering, software development, and data analytics. Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Financial Engineering from WorldQuant University, I hold a Bachelor's degree and a Diploma in Computer Science from the University of Nairobi. My passion lies in leveraging technology to create innovative solutions that address real-world challenges.

Throughout my career, I have developed and optimized ETL pipelines, implemented scalable data warehousing solutions, and automated data quality monitoring processes. My experience at Equity Bank and E&M Technology has honed my skills in full-stack development, where I designed and deployed various systems, including a Banking Finacle Monitoring System and a Human Resource Management System. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with stakeholders to ensure that solutions meet specific needs and enhance overall efficiency.
