Career objective

To build a career at the intersection of machine learning, bioinformatics, and full-stack software development. I aim to apply deep learning and data-driven techniques to real-world healthcare challenges, particularly cardiovascular and neurocritical care, while continuing to grow as a developer across web and mobile platforms. In the long term, I want to contribute to open-source research tooling and build applications that improve lives through intelligent systems.

Education

BSc, Computer Engineering (Smart Computing) 2022 – Present

Kyungdong University · Goseong, Gangwon-do, South Korea · Expected 2026

Senior year, focused on web development and bioinformatics. Senior thesis was on temporal prediction of heart defects with the CheXchoNet dataset (CNN, AUC 0.79–0.84), supervised by Prof. Zubaer Ibna Mannan. Current research extends that toward waveform-level signals: non-invasive intracranial pressure estimation.

Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education 2017 – 2021

Kaplelach High School · Kenya

Where I first wrote real code, and where I first realised that the parts of math I liked were the parts that turned into programs.

Research

Senior Thesis: Temporal Prediction of Heart Defects (CheXchoNet) 2023 – 2024

Senior thesis · Kyungdong University · Supervisor: Prof. Z. I. Mannan

  • Deep-learning model for temporal prediction of heart defects on the CheXchoNet dataset.
  • Used CNNs to analyse chest X-ray data alongside temporal metadata.
  • Achieved AUC 0.79 to 0.84.
  • Pointed me toward waveform-level clinical signals, which the current ICP research builds on.
Current Research: Non-invasive ICP Estimation 2025 – Present

Ongoing research · Kyungdong University · Supervisor: Prof. Z. I. Mannan

  • Trained on PhysioNet's pediatric neurocritical-care waveform release; cross-dataset validation against PhysioNet CHARIS.
  • Leave-one-patient-out cross-validation across 12 patients, ~18,500 windows.
  • Best LSTM result: MAE 2.92 mmHg, median AE 1.97 mmHg, RMSE 4.03 mmHg.
  • Stack: PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, custom WFDB / signal-processing pipeline.
Cardiovascular Disease Prediction 2023

Kyungdong University · Cleveland Clinic dataset

  • Trained a machine-learning model to predict cardiovascular disease.
