Personal Profile

I am a Computer Technologist and Master's student at Maseno University, Kenya, with deep experience across software development, hardware systems, networking, and systems integration. I design and deliver end-to-end technology solutions that are reliable, scalable, and built for diverse operational environments.Alongside my technical work, I conduct research on Natural Language Processing for low-resource African languages - building datasets, designing preprocessing pipelines, and generating synthetic data for Swahili, Somali, and Kalenjin. My work is driven by a broader ambition: to ensure AI development does not leave African languages and communities behind.

Career Objective

As a Computer Technologist and Researcher, I bring together hands-on expertise in software development, systems infrastructure, and networking with active research in AI - believing that practical engineering and meaningful research must grow together if technology is to truly serve underrepresented communities. This conviction shapes everything I do - from building scalable infrastructure to working on NLP solutions that give African languages a seat at the table in global AI progress.I am open to opportunities in research, software engineering, and technology infrastructure - particularly roles where I can contribute to impactful work at the intersection of computing and community, whether in academia, industry, or the development sector.
