Still early, already hands-on

Out[1]:

I'm a Data Science graduate from Cooperative University, working across analytics and data engineering out of Nairobi, Kenya. Most days I'm building scalable sandbox environments, managing cloud databases, and documenting the journey as I move deeper into data infrastructure.

I write about the unglamorous parts of the job — Git staging areas, Bash with no undo button, database relationships that won't behave — on DEV Community, usually with more humor than the topic strictly deserves.

A few of the repos behind the write-ups — data exploration, database setup, and the infrastructure that holds it together.

A notebook-driven look at Kenya's inflation trends — pulling the data together, exploring it, and building toward a forecast.

learning-linux

Ubuntu server, set up from scratch — remote SSH, sudo user isolation, a PostgreSQL 16 install, and firewalls locking down the network.

Open to Data Analyst and Data Engineer roles — happy to talk about a role, a project, or just the pains of a stuck merge conflict.
