## About

```text
At DataSprint Hackathon 2026, I led data analysis on a three-member team using the 2024 FinAccess Household Survey to build a financial inclusion prediction model. Our ensemble VotingClassifier achieved a weighted F1 score of 0.5305, and I won first place among 135 participants.

I’m studying for a Bachelor of Business Information Technology at Strathmore University and have hands-on experience with data analytics and software development through academic and personal projects. My technical work includes Python, Java, SQL, and web technologies.

I also built and deployed a 17-page reference website about internet and web terminology. For a bakery website, I developed eight responsive pages with a dark/light mode toggle, contact form validation, and a gallery filter with modal lightbox.

With a teammate, I co-developed a visitor management system that extended a JavaFX and PostgreSQL application into a distributed Java RMI client-server system. I’m seeking internships and entry-level technology roles where I can apply my technical skills to practical, data-driven solutions.
