I am experienced in system architecture, business analysis,data analysis, machine learning algorithms,model deployment and data visualization. Some technologies and tools I use include PowerBI, Big Data -Spark, Pandas,Seaborn,Sklearn, AWS, SQL, Kubernetes.

I currently work at M-PESA Africa as Product Owner - Big Data and Analytics.I am responsible for driving the evolution of products and customers across 7 countries in Africa by applying Big Data and Machine Learning Technologies in this process.


I am also a Part-time DataScience Instructor at Strathmore University, Nairobi,Kenya.
