About Me

I'm a final-year BSc Data Science student at The Cooperative University of Kenya, building a career at the intersection of scalable systems and trustworthy data. My work is driven by a belief that clean, well-engineered data infrastructure is what separates organisations that can act on their data from those that only think they can.

Outside of building pipelines, I'm drawn to the growing data ecosystem across East Africa and the opportunity to work on infrastructure that has real operational impact — whether in aviation safety, energy, or financial services.

Learning & Project Experience

Final-Year BSc Data Science Student

The Cooperative University of Kenya

2022 - Present

Over the past year, I've specialized in data engineering and have built production-grade data systems through hands-on projects. Designed and implemented scalable ETL pipelines, real-time stream processing with Kafka, and warehouse infrastructure. These projects have equipped me with deep technical skills in Python, SQL, Airflow orchestration, and cloud architecture.

Hands-On Project Development

Building Real-World Data Infrastructure

Last 12 Months

Completed 5 major projects involving data pipeline design, cloud ETL systems, real-time transaction streaming, and warehouse optimization. Each project has significantly strengthened my understanding of production systems, best practices, and scalable architecture. I'm committed to continuous learning, eager to gain from experienced professionals, and passionate about building reliable data systems that drive organizational value.
