## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm seeking a 5–6 month Software Development, Data, or Technology Consulting internship in Mauritius.

## About

```text
At IREMBO, I worked in the Product and Engineering department on technical design projects for Irembohub and used AI for service configuration. I also digitised services for use by Rwanda's population.

I co-created Vidante with two teammates, an AI assessment platform designed to reduce teachers' administrative workload and improve student feedback. Our team won the NPCC AI StartUps Initiative 2026 and received seed funding and incubation support.

On my IslandMartDataPlatform project, I built an end-to-end data pipeline that loads and validates product data, then brings API and application data into a DuckDB warehouse. I modelled the data in dbt and scheduled the pipeline with Apache Airflow.

On IslandRide, I generated synthetic ride-hailing trip data as partitioned Parquet and queried it with DuckDB. I developed locally against Azurite and ran the same code on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
