Hi, my name is

JAMES MUGANZI

A Python developer exploring data science and AI, building tools that turn data into decisions.

ABOUT ME

Here you'll find a glimpse into who I am, what drives me, and the skills I bring into building intelligent, data-driven solutions.

Get to know me!

I'm a Python Developer and Data Scientist in training who loves turning complex data into clear insights and building AI-powered tools that make a difference. What excites me most is using technology not just for efficiency, but for impact solving problems around climate, health, and sustainable development.

Over the past year, I've worked on projects like an AI system that predicts climate risks, a nutrition planning platform for families in East Africa, and smart bots that connect people with jobs and resources. Each project taught me how powerful it is to combine code, creativity, and community needs.

I'm eager to connect with opportunities where I can push boundaries, collaborate, and keep learning. If you're looking for someone passionate about Python, data, and AI with purpose, let's build something impactful together.
