I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, and completed my high school there. After that, I headed to India for my bachelor of technology in Computer Science and Engineering at Vellore Institute of Technology. It was an exciting time for me since my family is from there and I got to experience my culture firsthand, and dive deep into the tech world. After graduating, I joined Visteon as a Software Engineer, where I got some solid product-based industry experience. That job taught me a lot about working with teams, managing projects, and really understanding how software impacts people in the real world.
Fast forward to now — I am pursuing my MS in AI at Northeastern University. I chose AI because I saw its potential to really help people and make technology more accessible. For me, it is about more than just cool algorithms and data; I want to democratize technology and make sure it reaches those who need it the most.
I am super passionate about using AI in the EdTech space. I believe that every child, especially those with special needs, deserves the opportunity to flourish, and technology can play a huge role in that. I want to work on tools that make learning more accessible and adaptive, helping kids overcome barriers and reach their full potential.
Looking ahead, I am excited about the possibilities. I want to continue building solutions that have a real impact on people’s lives. At the same time, I am committed to learning and growing as a technologist, especially in areas where I can blend my passion for education with innovative AI.
