My Journey from Peasant Farming to AI Research
I was born in a remote village in Kenya, where access to quality education, healthcare, and modern technology was almost non-existent. My parents are peasant farmersβhardworking people who cultivated the land to feed our family, but who had no formal employment and very limited financial means.
Like many children in rural Kenya, I grew up without electricity, computers, or the internet. These were luxuries I only dreamed of. But I quickly realized that education was my only weapon against poverty.
Through sheer determination, I clawed my way through local schools, eventually earning my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and my Master of Science in Distributed Computing Technology.
