Google Professional Machine Learning Engineer
Google Cloud · Remote · 2026
Two hundred flashcards deep and still going. Pipelines, model serving, feature stores, MLOps at scale, racing the curriculum while building the instincts that matter more than the badge.
Yolked AI → Minotiq
Bolt · Distributed (Remote) · 2025
What started as a fitness logging app between four people in four time zones turned into something much bigger, a pivot mid-hackathon, a product that could actually run a gym.
Navel Robotics. Headless IoT on Captive Networks
Navel Robotics · Munich, Germany · 2026
Navel is an empathy robot deployed in care facilities across Germany. Getting it online at each new site meant solving a problem hardware vendors rarely talk about: captive portals.
Start Sprint — Contxt
Start Berlin · Berlin, Germany · 2025
Alice Zhai had the raw material. I had the product frame. In the Start Sprint we turned a half-formed idea into something pitch-ready and walked out as one of the selected teams.
MyVital — Emergency Care for Chronic Conditions
Rwanda Coding Academy · Nyabihu, Rwanda · 2023
Five people, one idea that kept getting bigger: what if the moment a chronic patient needs emergency help, everyone who matters hospital, insurer, doctor already knows exactly what to do?
Volunteering
Brainiacs
Taught teenagers to code while figuring out a lot of it myself. The classroom became a mirror, they pushed me as much as I pushed them. Watching students with no personal computer build things from scratch stays with you.

Start Berlin
Found my Berlin footing here. Builders, makers, early believers people who take early-stage seriously. I show up, help on the ground, and always leave with a sharper read on how this city's startup ecosystem actually works.

Design instinct · Engineering execution · Shipped to real users
My first encounter with a laptop changed everything. That curiosity earned me an elite scholarship — one of just 60 high performers selected from across Rwanda to attend Rwanda Coding Academy. Three years immersed in software engineering and embedded systems, building real hardware and writing real code before I knew the rules.
That foundation made me dangerous in the best way. I think in systems, ship in sprints, and refuse to treat design and engineering as separate concerns. Now based in Berlin, deep in the startup world, doing the kind of work that actually ships and actually matters.
