Electronics & Computer Engineer

Kenneth Kinungi

I analyze complex datasets, build machine learning models, and derive actionable insights from data. Passionate about AI, statistical modeling, and solving real-world problems through data-driven decisions.

Open to internships & Graduate Opportunities
Portrait of Kenneth

I'm an Electronic and Computer Engineering student at JKUAT specializing in signals, communication, and embedded systems. I like taking a project from a rough hardware schematic or database schema to something people can actually use.

Whether I'm writing assembly logic for microprocessors, modeling data with Scikit-Learn, or building secure MVC web applications with Python and MySQL, I focus on clean code, robust architecture, and delivering tangible impact.
