About me

Welcome to Victor Kimaru's portfolio! I'm an AI engineer and full-stack developer who trains models, builds LLM agents, ships the products around them, and secures what I ship.

Who Am I?

Hello! I'm Victor, an AI Engineer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I placed 32nd of 4,729 teams (silver medal) in Kaggle's Orbit Wars with a 25M-parameter transformer, and I build production AI: LLM agent pipelines and semantic matching. Underneath that is solid full-stack engineering: I've built production web apps, payments, real-time systems and auth across mental health tech, fintech and agritech startups, and I pair it all with penetration testing skills.

My Approach

I treat AI as an engineering discipline: measure first, model the problem properly, and secure the system end to end. My goal is AI that is useful, trustworthy and safe in real users' hands.
