Hello! I'm Daniel Wanjala.

My professional path began in the demanding environment of healthcare IT. As the Senior IT Manager at Kingdom Hospital in Webuye, I wasn't just keeping the systems running; I was on the front lines, ensuring that technology reliably supported critical patient care. It was here, managing networks, ensuring data integrity, and leading a team of interns, that I first truly grasped the immense potential hidden within the hospital's operational data.

Seeing the direct impact of efficient systems – like reducing patient wait times through better scheduling or improving billing accuracy with integrated solutions – ignited my curiosity. I started volunteering my time specifically as a Data Scientist within the hospital, driven to explore how we could move beyond just *managing* data to *learning* from it. This led to developing predictive models for patient flow, a project that yielded significant improvements and solidified my passion for data's predictive power.

This hands-on experience naturally led me to formalize my knowledge. Pursuing a Certificate in Data Science & Machine Learning from Moringa School provided an immersive, project-based deep dive. Following that, my BSc in Information Technology from Zetech University gave me the robust technical foundation. Now, I'm furthering my expertise through a Master of Science in Data Science at Cooperative University of Kenya, constantly seeking to refine my skills in machine learning, statistical modeling, and research.
