About Me

I am Joseph Njeri and I am a full stack software developer and data scientist. My background combines machine learning, data engineering, and modern web development, allowing me to create complete end-to-end solutions that bring together powerful back-end intelligence and responsive, user-friendly front-end design.

However, my profession hasn't always been in Tech. My academic background is in atmospheric science. I hold a Doctor of Natural Sciences (Dr. rer. nat) in Atmospheric Physics and Dynamics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (2015–2019), where I researched the diagnosis and simulation of extreme precipitation events over Kenya. Before that, I earned a Master of Science in Meteorology from the University of Nairobi (2010–2012), focusing on assessing the predictability of rainfall using tropical convection indices, and a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from the same institution (2005–2009).

I have professional experience in predictive modeling, recommender systems, image recognition, and financial modeling using Python, Keras, and scikit-learn. On the backend, I work with Django REST Framework and Flask to build APIs and data-driven applications, while also drawing on a strong foundation in PostgreSQL and MongoDB. On the frontend, I am self-taught in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, continuously building responsive, interactive projects that showcase how design and functionality come together. Alongside this, I have also worked as a trainer and curriculum developer at neuefische GmbH, mentoring students and preparing them for industry roles.

My core expertise lies in machine learning and AI, where I apply advanced methods using Python, Keras, and scikit-learn to build predictive models, recommender systems, and image recognition solutions. I have also developed robust data engineering workflows and designed APIs using Django REST Framework and Flask, with a strong foundation in PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

I live in Karlsruhe, Germany, and I am always open to collaborations, research, or projects at the intersection of full stack software development and data science.
