What I'm looking for
I am a motivated IT professional with a solid foundation in networking and emerging expertise in back-end development. My experience includes implementing secure and reliable systems, and I am eager to transition into software development.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Information System and Technology at the University of Rwanda, I have honed my programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, and JavaScript. My technical skills extend to back-end tools like Django and Flask, as well as database management with MySQL and PostgreSQL. I have also contributed to AI-driven projects, including developing chatbots and recommendation systems, showcasing my ability to leverage data insights for impactful solutions.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have actively participated in workshops and hackathons focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. My self-initiated projects, such as the YEES platform and various AI applications, reflect my commitment to using technology for social good. I am enthusiastic about learning new technologies and frameworks, and I am fully available for in-person sessions for the next six months.
