Profile

I am currently pursuing Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. I am a graduate of a Masters of Computer Applications from Kenyatta University in Kenya. My research interests include Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Evolutionary Algorithms, Climate Change, and Sustainability. I have held several administrative positions as a Head of a Department at a University level, including Examinations and Timetabling. I am passionate about teaching courses related to Databases, Artificial Intelligence, Programming Languages, Data Structures, and Algorithms. I like playing and watching football. I am also an ardent fun of athletics. I am keen in volunteering work especially where the disadvantaged members of society are affected.
