Data Scientist developing explainable AI at the University of Zimbabwe, where I forecast stock-price direction with up to 76.86% accuracy.

At the University of Zimbabwe, I completed a dissertation on explainable AI for forecasting next-day stock-price direction across four Zimbabwe Stock Exchange companies. My models achieved up to 76.86% directional accuracy.

I compared ARIMA, Random Forest, XGBoost, LSTM, and a Soft Voting Ensemble using walk-forward temporal validation. I also interpreted predictions with SHAP, LIME, and Integrated Gradients.

I built an interactive Streamlit dashboard for forecasts, model comparisons, and explainability. For the collaborative Crop Care Connoisseurs project, I developed an AI-powered web application to detect maize leaf diseases from images.

At Zvishavane District Hospital, I managed, cleaned, and validated routine health data using DHIS2 and Excel, and supported staff with reporting and IT issues. At Mandava Clinic, I updated patient records and supported review scheduling and prescription adherence tracking.
