At Briq, I work as a software developer focusing on building scalable web applications using React and Django. My role involves developing real-time data dashboards, optimizing frontend performance, and ensuring seamless API integrations. I’ve contributed to improving the application's loading speed by 30% and participated in agile development sprints, peer code reviews, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver clean, maintainable code.

At PATO, I design and maintain the organization's digital presence through the development of its official website, which serves as a platform to showcase innovations and connect with online customers. I also take a leading role in visual branding, crafting digital assets like company profiles, business cards, packaging, and promotional content. My work has helped enhance customer engagement across platforms such as Instagram, Telegram, and WhatsApp.

As the lead developer and designer of a graduation sash ordering platform, I built a full-stack web application using React and Node.js. The platform allows students from multiple universities to place orders, make payments via Zenopay's integration with mobile networks, and receive timely deliveries. I also designed the brand’s digital presence, coordinated delivery services via Google Business integration, and improved the user experience through iterative design enhancements.

During my time with the AI Club at the University of Dar es Salaam, I participated in a research initiative on financial inclusion in East Africa. I worked on building predictive models using scikit-learn and Streamlit to analyze banking access across countries like Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania. I also conducted workshops as a Sarufi AI ambassador to teach students how to create generative AI-based chatbots and expand their understanding of real-world AI applications.

I am currently enrolled at KTH as an exchange student, specializing in machine learning. My coursework includes Deep Learning, Network Systems for ML, and Smart City Innovation. Beyond academics, I’ve attended several innovation conferences and participated in interdisciplinary design challenges to bridge AI technology with real-world urban problems.

I completed my undergraduate studies in computer science with a strong emphasis on software engineering and systems design. Throughout the program, I developed full-stack web applications, explored algorithmic problem-solving, and participated in collaborative tech projects. My final year was marked by a hands-on graduation project that combined machine learning with data-driven web development.
