What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in AI and software development.

I am an aspiring AI Engineer with a strong passion for innovation and a proven track record in winning hackathons. My journey in technology has been marked by a commitment to mastering AI, web, and mobile technologies, and I am dedicated to contributing to meaningful projects that make a positive impact. I believe in continuous learning and growth, which drives me to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field.

During my time as a Data Scientist at UmojaHack Africa 2022, I developed a machine learning classification model that successfully detected faulty air quality sensors using real-world IoT data. This experience not only honed my technical skills but also taught me the importance of teamwork and effective communication. As the Team Lead for UmojaHack 2022, I coordinated a group of talented student data scientists, leading us to victory and showcasing my leadership abilities under pressure.

My projects, such as RAVEN-BOT and PHANTOM LINK, reflect my ability to innovate and create practical solutions. I am eager to bring my skills and experiences to a dynamic team where I can contribute to exciting projects and continue my professional development.
