Computer Science (Honours) graduate from the University of Namibia (Upper Second Class, 2:1), based in Malawi. I build software across backend systems, Linux infrastructure, and AI-assisted accessibility, with an emphasis on practical tools and well-documented engineering.

Honours research prototype exploring bidirectional speech and sign-language communication for healthcare accessibility. Combines computer vision, speech processing, language components, and avatar visualization; broader support for Namibian Sign Language remains limited by available datasets.

Stack: Python, OpenCV, PyQt6, machine learning

A lightweight C command-line tool for managing projects as Linux systemd --user services. Uses per-project .serve configurations to register, inspect, pause, resume, and stop services without managing each one manually.

Stack: C, Linux, systemd

A master-worker task execution prototype using TCP sockets, asynchronous I/O, worker discovery, heartbeats, and retry handling.

Stack: Python, asyncio, TCP sockets, JSON

A Trie-based text indexer supporting exact and prefix search, persistent indexes, and a command-line interface.
