My name is Phinehas Maina and I was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. I currently live in Moreno Valley,CA, and attend school at California Baptist University. I have several titles. Here are some of the most notable ones!
Soccer Player
Soccer is my favorite sport! Whenever I am free I usually play soccer with friends. I competed in this year's college intramural soccer and was able to qualify for the playoffs with my team. My favorite soccer club in Manchester United situated in England.
Programmer
I got exposed to programming when in 2020 through some python classes I took during my gap year before college. These classes played a huge factor in me choosing my major since I originally did not really know what I wanted to do. Learning python made me love programming and I have not looked back since.
Gamer
I got introduced to games when I was three years old. I used to play GTA for fun with my uncles back in Kenya. At around when I was 10 years old, I began playing FPS games like Return To Castle Wolfenstein which is a mission based game. When I was 12 I started playing FIFA and became very good at it. I am currently the school FIFA intramural champion. I plan on making my own games in the future!
Here are some of my
Projects!
This section contains the projects some projects that I have been involved in so far!
Color coded delivery
This was my second project for the second semester of my freshman year! For this project my team and I designed a robot using the lego Mindstorms kit and arduino boards. The main objective of our robot was to deliver Color coded packages to the corresponding color coded house. We got fourth place in popularity vote for the final RGTAS competition where we presented our robot!
The Titanic
This was my very first successful python project! In this python project, my team and I used several python algorithms to try make a machine learning model that could predict if one would survive the titanic accident. We used the catboost algorithm to make our model and that had an accuracy of 80%. This model was posted on kaggle where our model ranked top 10% of all models that have been submitted to the competition!
Music-based
Ever since I was 5 years old, I have been involved in performing music church youth events. As a man of many talents,I have been blessed to learn 5 musical instruments so far. These include: Saxophone, piano, acoustic guitar, and the drums. I hope to learn two more; i.e. the cello and the violin. In the future I would like to help produce music using the skills that I have acquired.The picture above was me performing during a Christmas Carol service!
I have picked up several
Programming Languages!
The following are the languages I have interacted with and used during my studies and projects:
