My Journey as a Hybrid Innovator

My path from Kenya's power grids to Berlin's tech landscape has been one of continuous evolution—engineering solutions while embodying purpose.

Before transitioning fully into Engineering and Research, I led sales and product operations across health tech ecosystems with Elephant Healthcare and Ilara Health — where I helped scale digital diagnostics and clinical systems across multiple regions. This experience grounded my technical work in real-world adoption, revenue growth, and the human side of system design.

Engineering Empathy

"The most robust systems—whether technical or human—are built with deep understanding and a commitment to shared purpose. My Kenyan heritage emphasizes community and collaboration, principles that deeply inform my approach to building high-performing, empathetic teams."

My Philosophy

Core Beliefs

"Smart Laziness" & Systemic Efficiency

"True efficiency isn't about working harder—it's about understanding systems so deeply that you can identify the one change that eliminates ten problems."

This principle, learned from debugging transformers in Kenya, now guides how I approach everything from code architecture to team dynamics.
