Building ML-powered solutions for healthcare and agriculture. Specializing in computer vision, NLP, and production deployment of AI systems.
ABOUT ME
I'm J Nduati, holding a BSc in Computer Science, driven by a passion for creating solutions that address real-world challenges. My technology journey began in my first year of university as a web developer, but discovering Python and machine learning in my second year fundamentally transformed my approach to software development.
My ML journey started with earning the IBM AI Analyst - Mastery Award certification. Since then, I've pursued projects that tackle meaningful problems: from developing a system to detect tropical diseases in children under five (which highlighted critical data accessibility challenges), to venturing into the Aberdare forest during the COVID era to collect samples from local communities. This fieldwork resulted in a ~1,400-image dataset for my first computer vision project—identifying tropical medicinal plants.
Currently, I'm exploring how farm data can empower small-scale farmers to optimize their practices and improve yields, with plans to develop a data hub connecting them to markets. I'm also investigating how ML can help children with autism better express themselves.
I'm eager to collaborate on projects that deepen my expertise in machine learning, NLP, and computer vision. My technical foundation spans software development, algorithms, computer networking, on-premises infrastructure, and big data.
Areas of Interest & Expertise
Deep Learning
Strong conceptual understanding with academic foundation. Actively seeking hands-on opportunities and roles to expand practical experience in production deep learning systems.
Computer Vision
Hands-on experience from capstone project in plant identification. Eager to take on more computer vision opportunities and challenges in diverse application domains.
NLP/LLMs
Conceptual understanding with focus on African languages research. No real-world applications yet, but solid theoretical foundation and interest in language processing challenges.
MLOps
Explored MLOps concepts using AWS services. Understanding that ML deployment should be as streamlined as traditional software engineering - applying DevOps principles to machine learning workflows.
Full Stack
3+ years building web applications with Python/FastAPI backends, React frontends, and PostgreSQL databases. Experience with mobile development using React Native and containerized deployments.
