About
AI/Machine-Learning Engineer
Based in Nairobi, Ke
Open to Work
I'm passionate about solving business problems using AI/ML as key engines of efficiency. I have specialised in building scalable serverless back-end systems (AWS, Python, RAG-systems) that turn raw data streams into actionable business insights, order fulfilment processes and search functionality. I act as a link between the machine learning brain and the business operations in Agile settings.

Mentorship
Nairobi
Main area of interest lies in building production-grade RAG pipeline and search engines using LlamaIndex to keep LLMs solely tied to enterprise data for accurate and reliable output. The above intelligence powers my work by relying on scalable and high throughput cloud architecture through the implementation of serverless microservices using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SageMaker and DynamoDB.

I deepened my understanding and expertise in the fundamentals of data structures, algorithm design, and end-to-end creation and evaluation of machine learning models. My main objective was the translation of raw data through cleaning, analysis and feature engineering into practical, predictive and production‑ready solutions that delivered actionable insights.
