About
The convergence of data science consulting and software engineering is increasing the opportunities of modern businesses to transform and improve their services. For many growing companies, reliable data infrastructure that can perform at scale is one of the biggest challenges today. I work with companies of all sizes to help implement the latest software and data science solutions.
I am pursuing a master’s degree in Data Science at the University of California, Berkeley. I currently lead a team at skyehi.tech that helps companies build robust software solutions and have previously co-founded a company providing crowdsourced traffic data in Kenya (Ma3Route). I have 15+ years of experience in the US and Kenya building highly impactful software solutions.
Originally from Kenya where I studied computer engineering, I moved to Southern California in 2015, then San Francisco in 2017 but recently relocated back to Kenya. I enjoy helping companies build out their data capacities so they can move beyond working in xls sheets.
