Nairobi, Kenya · open to remote work
LLM red teamer in Gray Swan's Winner's Circle and a Python engineer with a decade of numerical computing, simulation and data work behind me. My next step is building the evaluation and defence tooling that measures how models fail.
Gray Swan Arena · competing as “Zoom Bee”
Winner's Circle member. Figures from my Arena profile as of October 2026. See the live profile ↗
Member of Gray Swan's contracted red-team network, which tests frontier models and AI applications. I write jailbreak and prompt-injection attacks against models and LLM agents.
Public red-teaming challenges run against frontier models. I reached the Winner's Circle and currently rank #51 globally.
Python tooling, web-scraping and data-cleaning scripts, numerical solvers and engineering simulation for clients and my own research. I also contributed R&D and technical documentation to a US team's patent specification on converting radiant thermal energy into controlled electromagnetic power.
Refactored legacy code into modular components and worked in a Git-based team workflow.
Embedded firmware and backend services for IoT products: sensor acquisition, data storage and monitoring dashboards.

Mechanical engineering coursework at JKUAT, 2011–2014 (did not complete the degree). Google Africa Developer Training Program certificate, 2022.
I'm open to remote roles and contracts in AI red teaming, evaluations and ML engineering, and to commissioned animations and simulations.
