AI Engineering Manager with expertise in robotics and autonomous systems.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am an AI Engineering Manager with over 7.5 years of experience at the intersection of robotics, AI, and embedded systems. My current focus is on agentic AI and LLM-integrated autonomous agents, where I have developed intelligent systems capable of complex task planning and execution. One of my key achievements includes leading the design of an LLM-driven vacuum cleaner that translates voice commands into task sequences, showcasing my ability to integrate natural language interfaces with robotics.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership skills, mentoring over 25 engineers and leading cross-functional teams to deliver projects under tight deadlines. My technical expertise spans various domains, including AI robotics, embedded systems, and DevOps, allowing me to contribute effectively to both hardware and software aspects of projects. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about building intelligent systems that bridge AI reasoning with real-world action.
