At Makerere AI Health Lab, I developed and evaluated machine-learning models for malaria and tuberculosis prediction research. I prepared datasets and tested classifier performance with researchers to align model outputs with clinical needs.

I’ve also developed e-commerce websites with product listings, shopping carts, and order management, and built a location-based app to help users find nearby garages. Since 2024, I’ve worked as a freelance graphic designer, creating promotional materials and branding concepts for clients and small businesses.
