About Me

AI/ML Engineer | Software Engineering Student | Problem Solver

I'm OTAI JOSEPH, a second-year Software Engineering student at Makerere University - College of Computing and Information Sciences (CoCIS), Uganda. Born on 07 May 2004, I'm passionate about building AI systems and using technology to solve real-world problems that make a measurable impact.

My journey in software development is driven by a deep fascination with artificial intelligence and machine learning. From building clinical gait analysis systems using 3D CNNs to developing full-stack applications, I balance academic coursework with hands-on AI/ML project development. Every skill I acquire is backed by practical, verifiable work on my GitHub profile.
