About

I build open-source AI solutions for social impact, helping enable data-driven decision making and sustainable development across Africa. I’m especially interested in applying AI/ML to real-world problems in areas like agriculture and youth/tech communities.

I have hands-on experience with Python-based AI/ML development, UI prototypes, data cleaning and preprocessing, and contributing to internal LLM projects (UG 40). Through research internships, hackathons, and community leadership, I enjoy turning technical ideas into practical outcomes.
