Download CV (PDF)

Data engineer with over three years of experience in data analysis, software engineering and stakeholder engagement in Rwanda. I build data pipelines, scoring models and dashboards, and full-stack platforms with Django, React and PostgreSQL, from multi-tenant farm and feed-sector systems to this site.

A civil and environmental engineering background (environmental impact assessment, water resources, climate risk) means I understand the sectors the data comes from. I deliver training as readily as code, and work in English, French and Kinyarwanda.
