About Me

Engineer. Builder.
Community Person.

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Seattle University with a minor in Business Administration, born and raised in Rwanda and now based in Kirkland, WA. I'm deeply curious about how AI and data can be used to build things that genuinely help people.

Over the past few years I've worked across data engineering, software development, automation, and AI systems — from Boeing's factory floors to building local-first AI tools from scratch. I love the intersection of technical depth and real-world usefulness.

I'm also trilingual — English, Kinyarwanda, and Kinyamulenge — which shapes how I think about communication, equity, and reaching people where they are.
