Hey, I'm Eric Mwenda

AI Engineer / Backend Engineer / Software Engineer

I build intelligent systems — AI agents, LLM-powered applications, and robust backend architectures that solve real problems.

01. About

I'm an AI & Backend Engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya, currently pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence at Dedan Kimathi University.

My work sits at the intersection of large language models, multi-agent systems, and backend engineering. I've built AI agents that interact in Unity environments, speech-based mental health tools, and adaptive learning platforms that process real-time student data.

I've spoken at Microsoft .NET Conference 2023 on AI-enhanced backend engineering for game development, and my work has been featured in Business Daily Africa.

When I'm not building AI systems, I'm mentoring developers, creating educational content on YouTube, or exploring the bleeding edge of what language models can do.
