// Hello, World
I'm a
Engineering intelligent systems at the intersection of AI, networking, and full-stack development. Building tomorrow's Africa with open-source innovation from Lusaka, Zambia.
I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Zambia, passionate about using technology to solve real problems on the African continent. My work spans AI integration, mesh networking for rural communities, and full-stack web development.
Currently pursuing a AWS FROM AMAZON , GOOGLE CLOUD AND MANCHINE LEARNING certification while building production AI systems that work even in low-bandwidth, offline environments — because innovation shouldn't require perfect infrastructure.
When I'm not coding, I'm mentoring young developers in Lusaka or exploring how LLMs can be fine-tuned on local languages and curricula also waching football.
Offline-capable AI tutor aligned to the Zambian national syllabus. Features speech recognition, adaptive quizzes, and works on 2G/offline via cached LLM responses.
Full-stack fitness app with BMI calculator, AI-powered form correction via webcam, dynamic workout scheduler, and personalized nutrition recommendations.
Low-cost rural connectivity using Raspberry Pi nodes in a custom mesh topology. Provides internet access to 3 villages with a single upstream connection.
GPT-4 powered chatbot fine-tuned for Bemba and Nyanja queries. Deployed on WhatsApp Business API for maximum reach without requiring smartphones or apps.
Real-time solar panel efficiency tracker with predictive maintenance alerts. ESP32-based sensors feed a live dashboard with anomaly detection via ML models.
