Summary
Henry Burii is an AI software engineer based in Nairobi with nine years of experience building data-driven systems, production ML pipelines, and backend services. He has led generative AI efforts—designing RAG architectures, prompt engineering, and building educational tools like Marvel AI using LangChain, FastAPI, ChromaDB and Google Gemini—while mentoring junior engineers. Henry combines hands-on data science (RNNs, forecasting, model validation) with pragmatic deployment skills (Docker, FastAPI, scalable dashboards and pipelines) gained across roles at Smollan, HMD and Reality AI Lab. His recent work focuses on shipping generative features and Core logic for learning assistants, reflecting a knack for translating research-grade models into user-facing products. Colleagues know him for turning complex data insights into accessible storytelling and for scaling ML-driven dashboards from a handful to thousands of users.
