Hobokela Mika Mwakajumba
Geologist, data scientist in the making, teacher, writer. The earth started it — curiosity took it everywhere. All of it lives here.
Explore my worldWho I am
I'm Hobokela. I read the earth, build things with data, teach what I learn, and write down the rest.
Geologist by training, but I've never stayed in one lane. These days I'm deep in agentic AI, chasing what it could do for computational geoscience. And honestly? I'm only getting started.
Earth science, code, a classroom, a blank page — different rooms, same me. I don't do anything halfway.
Where I learned
2020-2024
University of Dar es Salaam
2024
CoICT — University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
The bootcamp that turned Python from something I'd heard about into the tool I reach for every day. Everything I build in data science stands on it.
Completed March 2026
UNESCO & the Government of Poland
Months spent on how rock behaves under drilling stress: wellbore stability, pore pressure, and why boreholes fail when you read the rock wrong.
The ones I'd take again in a heartbeat.
What I've built
From rock faces to datasets — the roles, research and builds that shaped me. Earth science and data, side by side.
APYKEGS ENERGY SERVICES
At APYKEGS, I am a Geoscientist. The part I'm proudest of: Spearheading a project that integrated geological data with machine learning techniques.
Personal Build
Tabia is Kiswahili for habit and character. I wrote every line of it in Python, and building it taught me more about real software than any course ever did.
Consulting for KEGS
Field manager for a Barrick charted gold exploration project in Bulyanhulu Kahama, Tanzania.
What I think about
On Medium ↗
Thirty days, one skill, one unexpected discovery about how learning actually works.

[The sentence that makes someone want to read it. What did you figure out? What surprised you?]
ReadIn motion
Fieldwork, talks, and the moments worth keeping. Press play.
What I listen to
The conversations that rewire how I think — the shows I keep coming back to.
Gurnah made me rethink creative writing. He uses memory itself to carry experience, ideas and information to the reader, and hearing him explain it felt quietly ingenious.
Radin pins your attention to the actual science of the mind, then leaves you to work out how to live inside that reality. I still think about parts of this conversation.
Tyson on the future of our species and the voyages waiting for us out there, starting with our neighbour Mars. As someone who reads landscapes for a living, extraterrestrial ones pull at me.
Part five of the series. It asks what AI can sharpen in geology and meteorology without dulling the human core, drawing on Pope Leo's call to coexist with technology while keeping human dignity whole.
Beyond the desk
Always mid-book.
Mountain e-biking(With Duotts N26), Road biking with Rockstar, and scooter rides on some days.
New ground, on foot or by map. Been to; Poland[Warsaw, Krakow, Lodz], Tanzania[Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Mbeya, Serengeti],Estonia[Tallinn],Iceland[Reykjavik], Netherlands[Amsterdam], Austria[Vienna], France[Paris], Czech Republic[Prague], Slovakia[Bratislava].
Applications-(example Tabia app), Websites, Workflows — if I can make it, I will.
Linking generative and agentic AI applications and developments to data and Geo-science operations
Technoprenuer, innovating at the intersection between new technologies, resource extraction, use, management and sustainability.
In the grand scale I want to make use of my potential to further make a meaningful impact in the world by putting to use my skills and passion in data and Geo-sciences
