What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote entry-level roles in AI engineering, AI safety, AI training, or systems design where I can build practical embedded AI, computer vision, and automation solutions.

I've built an autonomous fire detection and suppression robot using Raspberry Pi Zero 2W vision, an ESP32, OpenCV, and real-time motor and pump control. The system achieved a 1.88-second detection-to-suppression response time and stopped within 20cm of obstacles.

I also built StockFlow for the Zana Platform: a FastAPI backend, WhatsApp gateway, and conversational interface that helps Kenyan micro and small traders track sales and stock without an app. Its forecasting logic identifies future demand, potential stock-outs, and slow-moving inventory to support better restocking decisions.

I'm growing a public GitHub portfolio of computer vision and automation projects, beginning with a YOLOv8 object-detection pipeline. I bring a builder's curiosity, steady judgment, teamwork, and follow-through to embedded AI and systems design work.
