I'm Isaac Kuria, a Commonwealth Scholar and data scientist with a passion for building technology that creates real-world impact โ€” especially in healthcare, infrastructure, and community development.

Currently in the dissertation phase of my MSc in Data Science at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, my research spans machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Before academia, I spent over a decade supporting safety-critical ICT systems at Kenya Civil Aviation Authority.

I believe "Technology should serve people, not just impress them." Every project I build starts with a real problem and ends with a measurable human benefit.

Beyond data science, I volunteer with the British Red Cross, Re-engage, and community sports programmes โ€” driven by a conviction that data awareness and community engagement go hand in hand.
