I'm Hosea Kosgei — a 2nd-year BTech student in Communications & Computer Networks, based in Nairobi. I combine a strong academic foundation in networking with hands-on experience building intelligent systems, data infrastructure, and real-world products that solve problems in the tech landscape.

My journey into technology started with a simple question — how does the internet actually work? That curiosity led me to pursue a BTech in Communications and Computer Networks, where I quickly discovered that I was drawn not just to understanding systems, but to building them. From my first Cisco Packet Tracer lab to configuring real routing protocols, I found that networking clicked in a way few other things did.
As my network engineering foundation grew, I began exploring the intersection of infrastructure and intelligence — using Python and machine learning to build systems that could think, not just route. This led me to AutoVerifAI, a project born out of watching Kenyans lose millions in fraudulent asset financing deals. The problem was real, the stakes were high, and I believed technology could fix it.
Alongside that, I've been building out my skills in data engineering — learning how to move, transform, and make sense of data at scale. Whether it's designing ETL pipelines with Apache Airflow, modelling data with dbt, or spinning up a home lab to practice infrastructure automation with Ansible, I approach every project as a chance to go deeper.
I'm currently in my 2nd year, actively working toward my CCNA certification, and looking for internship opportunities where I can bring this combination of networking knowledge, engineering instinct, and builder mentality to a real team. I want to work on hard problems — preferably ones that matter to Africa.
I focus on problems that actually hurt people — like predatory lending in Kenya's car market. Technology is most meaningful when it solves something real.
From network protocols to ML pipelines, I care about getting things right — not just getting them done. Quality is non-negotiable.
Networks evolve, AI advances, and new tools emerge constantly. I stay curious and commit to continuous learning as a discipline, not just a habit.
I build with the African context in mind — infrastructure constraints, local market realities, and the unique opportunities that come with a fast-growing tech landscape.
Building an ML-powered fraud detection system targeting Kenya's asset financing market — a real-world problem affecting millions.
Configured complex network topologies using Cisco Packet Tracer and Wireshark across multiple academic lab modules.
Designed and built a production-grade developer portfolio using Next.js 16, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
Actively pursuing CCNA certification to formalise enterprise networking knowledge alongside my BTech degree.
When I'm not building systems or studying network protocols, I'm out with my camera capturing Kenya — from the Nairobi skyline to wind farms in Ngong, SGR viaducts at dusk, and quiet lakeside evenings in Kisumu. I also write about tech, contribute to open source, and believe that curiosity outside the screen makes you a better engineer inside it.
I'm actively looking for internship opportunities and open to collaborating on projects in networking, intelligent systems, and data engineering. If you're building something that matters — especially in the African tech space — I'd love to be part of it.
