Who I Am

I'm a Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, scaling, and operating production AI systems, distributed cloud platforms, cross-platform mobile applications, and batch data infrastructure.

I work across machine learning, software development, data science, and data engineering — from research and model development (computer vision, NLP, RAG/LLM and agentic systems) through horizontally scalable microservice architectures, to batch and event-driven data pipelines that drive organisational decisions.

Currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at Makerere University while owning production systems end to end: architecture, data pipelines, model development, MLOps, deployment, and stakeholder communication.
