I build safe, human-centred AI and technology solutions for healthcare, education, and agriculture.
What I'm looking for
I've built and evaluated Emergency Severity Index classification models during the CariSurg Healthcare AI Programme, using Python, pandas, and scikit-learn on de-identified emergency-department data. My recommended model achieved a macro-F1 score of 0.534.
I prioritised clinical safety by tracking ESI-1 recall and retaining the plain feature set when engineered features reduced verified recall. I also helped design a patient self-service kiosk, nurse dashboard, and wearable alert workflow that keeps final triage decisions with clinicians.
I co-developed X.Y.L.E.M., an AI crop-health chatbot for assessment and treatment guidance, contributing to a first-place food-security hackathon team. I have also created website training videos and updated course pages at Sir Arthur Lewis Community College.
My hands-on technical experience includes robot maintenance and troubleshooting for Team Saint Lucia at FIRST Global, plus network, printer, LAN cabling, DHCP, and static-IP support as an I.T. Technician Intern.
