02 / About Me
ABOUT.
Backend developer with a sharp focus on AI/ML systems and production APIs.
I'm a backend developer with 2+ years of experience building scalable web applications and AI/ML systems. I specialize in machine learning pipelines, few-shot learning, and high-performance APIs — with a consistent track record of delivering quality work on time.
Currently at Zone 01 Kisumu, I work as a Backend Developer (AI/ML) on Berrijam AI — architecting FastAPI backends for ML model training, prediction, and evaluation endpoints — and as a Full Stack Developer on BongoHub, a production social platform.
Beyond building, I'm passionate about democratizing AI through education and mentorship — recently serving as a judge at The Tech Challenge Kenya 2025 and as an AI in Education panelist at Technovation Kenya 2025.
