Project Lead at HMTS MedTech directing a diagnostic support AI engine with explainable clinical inference.

Namibia
Message

At HMTS MedTech, I’m directing phased development of a Diagnostic Support AI Engine, including context-aware diagnostic inference and an explainability framework with audit trails for automated clinical insights.

At Mercor.io Corporation, I author, evaluate, and refine technical inputs, reasoning prompts, and biological and clinical datasets for frontier AI models. I also collaborate with client engineering teams to improve model precision and analytical rigor.

My work has spanned clinical diagnostics and university teaching in Namibia. At Namibia University of Science and Technology, I lectured in Cell & Molecular Biology and Medical Biochemistry, supervised research, and performed diagnostic testing across hematology and microbiology.
