"Build things that matter. Ship things that work."
I'm a second-year CS student who builds at the intersection of data systems, AI research, and developer tooling. I'm new to the open source world β but I move fast, read source code I don't fully understand yet, and I show up consistently.
My engineering focus in 2026:
- π€ AI Systems: Researching Vision Transformers for medical imaging in low-resource environments β where the impact of getting it right actually matters.
- ποΈ Data Engineering: Designing relational systems with real business logic β stored procedures, triggers, and full employee lifecycle management in MySQL.
- π§ Developer Tooling: Contributing to open source CLI tools, learning how production codebases are structured, and building toward AI-powered code generation systems.
AI-assisted medical imaging for Uganda
- Research Focus: Optimizing ViT + Knowledge Distillation pipelines for brain tumor classification in low-resource clinical settings.
- Problem: Specialist radiologists are severely limited in Uganda β accurate lightweight AI diagnostics could change that.
