About Me
AI Engineer and Software Developer passionate about building innovative solutions
Dirac Murairi Mukongya
I'm an AI Engineer and Software Developer with a passion for developing innovative solutions to complex problems. Currently pursuing a Master's in Engineering Artificial Intelligence at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, I specialize in machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing.
With experience at companies like Bridge Labs and KnackApp, I've contributed to projects spanning healthcare technology, fintech, and digital art platforms. I'm particularly interested in applying AI to healthcare challenges and making AI accessible through everyday devices.
When I'm not coding or researching AI, I find solace in playing the violin with the Injyana Orchestra in Kigali. I'm always open to collaborating on innovative projects that push the boundaries of what's possible with AI.
