I began my journey in Biomedical Engineering in Tanzania, where I discovered a passion for systems thinking. Moving to the U.S. to study Computer Science, I realized the real power lies in the data moving *through* those systems.

Today, my focus is on the intersection of software engineering and data science. I build tools that automate research, optimize workflows, and extract meaningful insight from complex datasets.

From engineering an AI-powered Chrome Extension at a hackathon that cut research time by 80%, to processing 300+ academic records with 100% accuracy — I bring precision, speed, and a builder's mindset to every problem.
