JOHN KIRIMA

DATA SCIENTIST — BUILDING AT THE INTERSECTION OF ANALYTICS, ENGINEERING, AND AUTOMATION.

IOWA CITY, IA UNIVERSITY OF IOWA CLASS OF 2026
John Kirima, Business Analytics and Information Systems student at the University of Iowa

Senior at the University of Iowa, Tippie College of Business, graduating Spring 2026 with a degree in Business Analytics and Information Systems. I work with data — cleaning it, modeling it, and building systems that make it useful.

At Systems Unlimited, I built Power BI dashboards that turned raw incident data into actionable insights for healthcare stakeholders. On my own time, I built DataForge — a 9-agent LLM pipeline that automates end-to-end data science workflows using DeepSeek and Claude.

I believe in clarity over complexity. Good analysis should speak for itself. Good code should read like prose.
