Projects
- SmartCare Led a cross-functional team in the design and development of a comprehensive web-based system for a medical aid company,encompassing both backend (Django, Python) and frontend components (React). Designed and implemented microservices architecture, where each microservice runs as a pod on a Kubernetes cluster deployed on Digital Ocean droplets, ensuring scalability and fault tolerance.
- Dabane Trust Collaborated as a team member in the development of a software system for an NGO aimed at improving agricultural practices and knowledge sharing among subsistence and commercial farmers. Designed and implemented the system's core functionality for scheduling meetings and workshops.
- GPS tracking system Developed GPS tracking functionality to address a significant requirement in geofencing and geolocation. Extended the software to integrate with a fleet management system. Constructed the API to allow seamless integration with various systems.
- Africa Property Booklet Initiated the development of the Africa Property Booklet, a real estate listing system tailored for agents in Zimbabwe. Leveraged PostgreSQL, Django, JavaScript, and Python technologies in the early stages of the software development life cycle.
- Fleet Management System Designed and developed the backend architecture for a fleet management system tailored for the unique logistics challenges in Africa. Created a suite of microservices using Java and Spring Boot, promoting flexibility and scalability. Implemented real-time tracking of fleet vehicles, enhancing logistics efficiency and transparency. Designed and managed the database schema, ensuring efficient data storage and retrieval.
- ZETDC Tracker Designed the architecture of the ZEDTC tracking system, leading to a scalable and efficient IoT software solution. Developed a set of microservices using Java (Spring Boot/Spring) and Python (Django) to ensure modularity and maintainability. Implemented real-time tracking of power consumption per manhole or transformer, providing utility companies with up-to-the-minute data.
- Python Web Scraper Created a web scraping system using BeautifulSoup and Selenium to retrieve data from the internet for various use cases. Transformed the retrieved data into data frames used in Pandas to create files for storage. Utilized the stored data in personal AI projects, including an ML project that employed various techniques to predict sports results.
- Circuit Simulator Design a circuit simulator that implemented numerical methods in design complex circuit networks. The system handled circuit design, parameter calculations using circuit theory and matrices, and circuit simulation with graphical representations of voltage, current and power. Used Java to implement the solution.
