Aspiring software engineer with expertise in C++ and machine learning.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated software engineer currently pursuing a BSc in Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, specializing in Parallel and Distributed Systems. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my expected First Class honors. I have a strong foundation in software development, demonstrated through my individual project where I built a C++ algorithmic trading system, and my collaborative work on an LLM document processing tool for a charity.
In my professional experience, I have held several impactful roles, including my current position as a Software Engineer at the University of Glasgow, where I am developing APIs for server endpoints and integrating them with Dart applications. My internship at Barclays allowed me to leverage generative AI and machine learning to create data synthesizers, enhancing the bank's data processing capabilities. I have also contributed to various projects, such as improving web service performance and developing interactive data visualizations using Django and Python.
Beyond my academic and professional endeavors, I am actively involved in extracurricular projects, including the UG Racing Driverless Perception Team, where I developed software for a driverless car, and GU Orbit, where I co-authored an award-winning paper on embedded systems. My passion for technology and innovation drives me to continuously learn and contribute to cutting-edge projects.
