About
Senior AI engineer for software people can trust.
I build AI tools, backend platforms, and workplace software with clear evidence, careful controls, and human oversight.
I am a Senior AI Engineer with eight years of software engineering experience across AI, backend platforms, distributed systems, and applied machine learning. I graduated in Software Engineering from the Harare Institute of Technology.
Since 2018, I have led engineering teams, built founder-led products, and scaled an AI platform at Africai past 20,000 active users as CTO. Contract work with teams in the UK and US has kept the stack honest across backend, frontend, Web3, and IoT.
Today I work independently on LangGraph/LangChain AI workflows and RAG services with FastAPI on AWS. I focus on clear limits, useful records, and software that is ready for real users.
Zimnat Insurance: Cut customer-service response latency to <3s and lifted automated engagement 25% with a LangGraph multi-agent RAG system. Defence & Security AI (Classified): Delivered applied AI for national-security drone detection and procurement. Baines Avenue Clinic & PSC: Shipped multimodal debt-recovery and psychometric profiling products on AWS.
Scaled a 3-developer AI platform team to support 20,000+ active users at 99.9% uptime, owning architecture and all MLOps/CI/CD. Cut API response times 35–75% via Redis caching, query optimisation, and async Python; led OpenAI/Stability.ai integration.
Scaled FinTech backend (Coindraw) to 10,000+ concurrent users at sub-200ms latency; cut logistics workflow processing time 80% (CST Ltd) via async refactoring. Built real-time Vue.js IoT dashboards (Vanti) syncing live telemetry.
Founded and scaled a 20+ engineer studio delivering AI, backend, and data products. Architected high-concurrency microservices to 10,000+ users at 99.9% uptime; cut production incidents 40% via standardised CI/CD and testing.
Delivered custom AI and Web3 projects — Solidity smart contracts, DeFi, NFT platforms — for clients across Australia, Singapore, the US, and the UAE.
Directed a 10-person cross-functional team across eCommerce and SaaS products, maintaining 100% on-time delivery while cutting incidents and release cycles by 40–50%.
Specialised in Distributed Systems and Artificial Intelligence — the foundation the backend-heavy consulting work is still built on today.
