Personal
Before the dashboards, before the SQL — I am.
.. a systems thinker who happens to build with data. I'm a Christian, a pastor's son, and someone who believes the best technology gets built by people who actually understand the problems they're solving.
This page isn't my resume. That's on the About page. This is the stuff a resume can't tell you.
Africa to America and back. On purpose.
Raised between Harare, Lusaka, and Pretoria. University in Queens, New York — St. John's, class of 2020. My first real job was auditing legacy servers for a South African government agency at seventeen. Then New York again: cleaning CRM data for a fintech in Manhattan. Then Pennsylvania: two years building the analytics layer for a fleet intelligence company. Then remote work for a Dallas-based construction firm. Then back to Southern Africa — this time by choice.
Right now I'm based between Pretoria and Harare, building systems for my father's engineering consultancy. My family is relocating to Mauritius. This fall, I'm heading to San Antonio for a Master's in Data Analytics at UTSA.
I don't have a "home base" in the traditional sense. I have a trajectory — and it keeps pointing toward building things where they're needed most.

I built the whole thing.
When I took on the Timber Center project, I didn't build a dashboard or a report. I designed and built an 88-table SQL Server retail management system from scratch — POS, inventory, procurement, vendor management, double-entry GL, landed cost, barcode scanning, multi-currency transactions, eight analytics reports. Sole developer, start to finish. That's how I think about problems: from the messy raw data all the way through to the running system.
For that same project, I chose a PyQt5 desktop app over a web framework — because the client is a retail shop in Zimbabwe with intermittent connectivity and a barcode scanner. Trendy gets you a press release. Right gets you a system that's still running in a year.
On the SADC-GMI transboundary groundwater projects, I extracted 78+ reimbursable line items from primary documents, reconciled 13 invoice sources across 5 international experts, and verified every payment against bank statements. Caught over $8,000 in discrepancies. Replaced hard-coded values with formulas so the workbooks would keep telling the truth when I wasn't in the room.
I don't fabricate. I don't inflate. I tell you what I know, what I don't know, and where the boundary sits. That rule applies to my work, my tools, and the teams I build with. It's the first thing I look for in other people's work, and the first thing I check in my own.

Technology for places that still need building.
My professional vision is simple: build technology that advances quality of life in developing economies. That's not a marketing line. I watched what happens when talented people leave Africa and don't come back. I did the leaving — university in New York, jobs in Pennsylvania, remote work for Dallas. Then I came back on purpose.
Faith is the foundation underneath it. I'm a pastor's son. My mother leads the church. I serve there — media, bookkeeping, creative design, operations. Same skills I bring to clients, different room. Faith didn't give me the systems thinking. What it gave me was a place where that skill mattered to people beyond a balance sheet.
That conviction is why I'm going back to the US for my Master's, and why I already know I'm coming home. Places like Harare don't need visitors. They need people who build, stay useful, and keep the lights on.
"Can't keep a good man down."
The human behind the systems.
I'm at the gym most evenings — Planet Fitness, 4:45 sharp, because if the gym isn't a calendar block it won't happen. I keep a keto-ish diet until somebody offers me Dunked Wings, at which point my principles become flexible. I read physical books because I deleted YouTube and I needed something to do with my hands.
I've built an eight-agent AI assistant ecosystem to run my life — Life Coach, Wellness Coach, Personal Finance, Content Brand, and a few others. Yes, I know how that sounds. No, I'm not stopping.
I've been told I'm intense. I prefer thorough.
I build wherever I am, with whatever I have.
