What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration.

I am a passionate and driven engineering graduate specializing in Geological Engineering, with a strong foundation in data science and analytics. My recent experiences include internships where I conducted field and laboratory tests on construction materials, and I have been involved in geotechnical projects that required meticulous attention to detail and analytical skills.

Throughout my academic journey at the University of Malawi, I have consistently excelled, earning recognition as a top performer in my class. I have developed a robust skill set in programming languages such as Python, C++, and SQL, and I am proficient in various data science methodologies, including machine learning and data visualization. My projects, including the development of an Artificial Neural Network for predicting soil bearing capacity, showcase my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges.
