About Me

Building the Future Africa
Deserves

I'm a full-scholarship IB Diploma student at M-PESA Foundation Academy and founder of SomaVilivyo — an AI-powered personalized learning platform dismantling educational barriers across under-resourced African schools. I combine machine learning, full-stack development, and relentless ambition to turn real-world African challenges into scalable global solutions.

From generating bioelectricity from soil microbes to pitching Kenya's Deputy President at the Connected Africa Summit — I don't wait for change. I build it. Grateful every day to M-PESA Foundation Academy and my family for making this journey possible.
