My Journey.

I started using a computer only after finishing my intermediate education. At that point I knew nothing beyond switching a machine on and off. What pulled me in was a simple question: what actually happens underneath every click? That led me to study how operating systems talk to hardware drivers and devices, and then to go deep into the Linux kernel, using AI tools to sharpen my computer science fundamentals faster.

Today my focus is large language models and distributed AI systems. I study how LLMs run in parallel on GPUs, and which architectural techniques cut RAM usage, power consumption, and runtime overhead.

Along the way I started asking a bigger question: how can my skills be used to do something genuinely good? Healthcare was the answer. I found OpenMRS, an open-source medical record platform built from many connected repositories, and began exploring how those repos fit together. It taught me a lot about engineering at scale, and about how technology is changing healthcare.

I am now a community member of OpenMRS, and my name appears as a contributor in releases across multiple OpenMRS repositories. It is one of the proudest moments of my journey.
