Crafting intelligent systems that transform data into real-world solutions

Hi, I'm Steven - a Machine Learning Developer

I am an AI/ML engineer and information systems researcher with experience building predictive, deep learning, and RAG systems for real-world applications in climate resilience and smart infrastructure. Selected for global fellowships with UNDP and Tech4Dev, I have led and deployed AI projects, contributed to community initiatives, and worked across academia, consulting, and volunteer roles. I focus on applying AI to solve high-impact, data-driven problems in public systems and sustainable development.

Django Development

Proficient in Django and Flask development with a focus on clean architecture, API design, and seamless backend integration for modern web applications.

AI/ML Modelling

Proficient in AI/ML modelling, from data preprocessing and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment in real-world applications.

Data

Proficient in data science and analytics, leveraging data-driven methods for trend analysis, visualization, and evidence-based decision support.
