About Me

Greetings! I am a product of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, enrolled in the esteemed African Masters of Machine Intelligence(AMMI) program, proudly sponsored by Facebook and Google.
My journey into the world of technology and education began as an instructor, where I had the joy of teaching young minds the art of building robots. Armed with LEGO®, scrap materials, and user-friendly drag-and-drop tools, I witnessed the spark of creativity in my students as they brought their imaginative creations to life.
My current research focus lies at the intriguing intersection of Unsupervised Representation Learning, Robotics, Reinforcement Learning (RL), and Control. I am fascinated by the potential of applying machine learning tools and techniques to multimodal datasets, unraveling intricate details and gaining deeper insights.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have embraced a role as a lecturer at the esteemed Academic City University College. Here, I passionately share knowledge in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Representation and Problem Solving, and Robotics. It brings me immense satisfaction to contribute to the growth of aspiring minds in these cutting-edge fields.
Join me on this journey of exploration, discovery, and continuous learning as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology and its profound impact on our world.
