PROJECTS
Irrigation Information Mannagement System
<p><u>Data Researcher – IMS-Baringo Cidu Project</u></p><p></p><p> Developed a web app combining Python and HTML using a Flask-like structure (app.py, templates, static files). Managed dependencies with requirements.txt and deployment setup via Procfile. Designed UI with HTML and integrated Python logic for interactive functionality. Deployed a functional application architecture using modular components and standard deployment practices.</p>
Banking Fraud Detection using Random Forest
<p><u>Data Researcher – Fraud Detection Project</u></p><p></p><p> Developed a Random Forest–based banking fraud detection model, improving accuracy and reducing false positives. Utilized Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn), Jupyter Notebook, and data visualization tools for analysis and model evaluation. Delivered a scalable, real-time detection framework with actionable insights for operational efficiency and customer trust.</p>
