What I'm looking for

I’m eager to contribute to innovative, purpose-driven teams and support the growth of global technology ecosystems through data-informed solutions.

Through my ALX Data Engineering Certificate, I designed and developed a functional wireframe prototype for a mobile app addressing deforestation in Kenya’s Mau Forest Complex. It enables communities and rangers to report illegal encroachment and alert authorities.

As Lead Researcher on the Mau Forest Deforestation Analysis project, I developed a data-driven analysis of deforestation’s climate impacts, formulated research objectives, and presented environmental trends and conservation findings.

I’m building my data science foundation at the University of Nairobi and completed an Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp at Moringa School. My studies and projects include Python, R, SQL databases, data analysis, and data pipeline workflows.
