What I'm looking for

I'm looking for internship or full-time software engineering opportunities, remote or on-site across Kenya and East Africa, where I can build impactful full-stack and AI solutions while growing in collaborative engineering teams.

I built AGREGAS, an AI-driven LPG marketplace connecting OMC suppliers, retailers, and consumers across Nairobi, with M-Pesa payments, delivery tracking, revenue splitting, and demand forecasting.

For my final-year project, I created a Kikuyu Cultural Artefacts Recognition System using ResNet50 transfer learning, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, and React. The platform earned the Best Innovation Award at Murang'a University of Technology for preserving indigenous Kenyan cultural heritage through deep-learning classification.

I've also contributed to SaaS products at Teach2Give, completed backend development training through ALX Africa, and built 10+ production-ready applications through Power Learn Project. I enjoy leading hackathon teams and applying technology to healthcare, agriculture, education, and cultural preservation.
