What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an Actuarial Science graduate and trained Data Scientist from Moringa School, with certifications in machine learning from Google Cloud, AWS, and Coursera. I specialize in building, deploying, and maintaining machine learning systems, with hands-on experience in real-time monitoring, data drift detection, and long-term model reliability. Over the past two years, I’ve worked as a Machine Learning Engineer and spent over three years in quality assurance and ML performance monitoring—consistently identifying and resolving production issues before they affect users.

Beyond core ML work, I’ve developed high-performance trading systems across crypto, forex, and derivatives markets, achieving 15%+ monthly returns in live environments. I’ve also built object detection pipelines for real-time drone surveillance and NLP systems for clinical text analysis. With three years of experience tutoring statistics and web development, I combine strong communication skills with deep technical capability. I thrive in fast-paced, interdisciplinary teams and am especially drawn to roles in finance, health tech, AI startups, and SaaS. I am open to both remote and relocation opportunities.
