## About

```text
At The Mining Portfolio Pvt Ltd, I support filter press installation and commissioning, install and calibrate Variable Speed Drives, and manage site energy metering. I also contribute to maintenance planning and routine motor inspections.

At Eureka Gold Mine, I performed transformer maintenance, earthing verification, and cable termination across LV/MV distribution networks. I also supported 33 kV switching, sensor calibration, and MCC maintenance while following LOTO and Test-for-Dead procedures.

At the University of Zimbabwe, I designed and prototyped an IoT-enabled smart electricity meter with firmware, a cloud dashboard, and tamper detection. I also built a Python pipeline to flag irregular smart-meter load profiles, designed an off-grid solar DC induction cooker, and built a single-axis solar PV tracker.
