Kariithi Wanjiku is a

I am a Computer Engineer specializing in embedded systems, data science, data pipeline engineering, and database management systems.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have cultivated a strong interest in the intersection of data science, engineering, and healthcare. This interest is rooted in my academic background in Electronics and Computer Engineering, where I began exploring how technology can address critical challenges in healthcare. My work has focused on designing autonomous medical devices for non-invasive and remote monitoring to improve patient outcomes and increase healthcare accessibility, particularly in low-resource settings.

The hallmark of my journey was developing a non-invasive monitoring kit for cardiovascular disease patients. Additionally, I was part of a team that designed, fabricated, and launched the third iteration of the Nakuja N3 model rocket. This experience culminated in writing and presenting two research papers on computational and analytical methods for low-earth Orbit rockets at the Sustainable Research Institute conference.

I am eager to learn disease modeling and epidemiology concepts as they apply in computational bioengineering. By integrating these concepts into my expertise, I aim to create more informed models, innovative devices, and data-driven dashboards to tackle pressing healthcare challenges.
