What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my data science skills in impactful projects, ideally in a collaborative environment that values innovation and growth.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, where I am honing my skills in data science and web development. My journey has been driven by a strong passion for leveraging technology to create meaningful solutions. I have actively engaged in online learning platforms like Udemy to enhance my knowledge and skills in this ever-evolving field.

In my recent role as a Data Analyst for Health Master, I contributed to the development of a health app aimed at supporting hypertension and diabetes patients. My responsibilities included analyzing patient data to identify trends and implementing machine learning models that improved user health management outcomes. Additionally, my experience as a Data Scientist at Prodigy allowed me to deepen my expertise in data preprocessing and visualization, utilizing tools such as Matplotlib and seaborn to communicate insights effectively.

As a Frontend Web Developer, I led a team in creating an e-voting system for my university, focusing on user experience and system security. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and committed to delivering high-quality work, and I am eager to apply my technical skills to projects that drive positive societal impact.
