01 · ABOUT
I'm an AI & Infrastructure Engineer at Gractor in Seoul and the founder of Statotech Systems in Harare. My days go to LLM reasoning over ontologies, time-series models and the GPU servers underneath them. Through Statotech Systems I build and run software for businesses in Zimbabwe and across Africa.
|
Now Intelligent ontology systems that combine LLM reasoning with AI DB inference, and time-series anomaly detection, on GPU servers with open-source model serving. |
