Unlocking the Power of NLP
Passionate about leveraging machine learning and natural language processing to empower low-resource languages.
As a junior machine learning engineer, I'm dedicated to leveraging the power of natural language processing to empower low-resource languages. With some proficiency in backend development and a keen interest in the intersection of technology and linguistics, I'm driven to create innovative solutions that can make a real impact. Below is my current skillset and areas of interest.
Machine Learning
Proficient in building and deploying machine learning models, with a focus on natural language processing.
Low-Resource NLP
Passionate about developing NLP solutions that can empower underepresented communities and languages.
Building LLM Apps
Proficient in building LLM Apps for various use cases.
Continuous Learning
Committed to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in machine learning and NLP, through online courses and participating in research initiatives.
Web Scraping
Some experience in crawling and scraping the web for content, to be used for Web mining (clustering and recommender systems)
Internet of Things
I have participated in IOT hackathons such as the Texpo Hack and also exhibited an IOT project at the UZ Research and Innovation week 2022. I won at Texpo24
Showcasing My Work
Check out some of my recent projects that showcase my skills in machine learning, natural language processing, and backend development.
LLM for Shona Spelling correction
This research project contributes to an open-source initiative aimed at developing NLP models for Zimbabwean languages, providing valuable resources for local developers and researchers to bridge the digital language divide.
wangue.ai
Many indigenous African languages are not well represented on digital platforms, creating a significant barrier for millions of people. As a result, many Africans feel they must abandon their native languages when interacting online. At wangue.ai, we aim to solve this problem by developing cutting-edge AI solutions for underserved African languages like Shona and iSiNdebele.
ZimpapersGPT
Zimpapers Research Assistant is an AI-powered tool designed to revolutionize how journalists and researchers access, analyze, and generate content. The goal of this project is to streamline the research and writing process by providing writers with relevant, fact-based insights while maintaining editorial control.
Multilingual Hate Speech Detector
A tool that can automatically detect hate speech in multiple languages, including low-resource languages, to help foster safe interactions on digital platforms.
Sentiment Analysis using BERT
Created a Sentiment Analyzer using BERT Transformers. Then i scraped some movie reviews on the IMDB website and created a small dataset for predictions. Used the Sentiment Analyzer to classify the reviews as either Positive or Negative. Perfomed some basic visualization on the predictions, using matplotlib.
DocsAI
An AI-powered assistant designed to streamline and accelerate the way developers interact with technical documentation. Leveraging advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models, DocsAI provides developers with precise answers to documentation queries, contextual explanations, and quick access to essential information within complex documentation.
From my academic background in computer science to my professional experience in machine learning and NLP, I've gained a diverse set of skills that I'm excited to apply to real-world problems.
Responsible for designing, training, and deploying AI models that drive our cybersecurity products. I work with open-source ML frameworks, reinforcement learning (RL), and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to build intelligent and scalable backend systems.
Developing AI powered software solutions for big corporates in Zimbabwe and the region. Strategy and AI driven Digital Transformation.
Conducted research in NLP technologies for low resource languages. Part of my work also involved setting up machine learning workflows on the HPC clusters.
Monitored and maintained smooth operation of the bank's IT systems and infrastructure. Troubleshooting and resolving technical issues, collaborating with dev teams to deploy software updates and conducting routine maintenance tasks like backups.
Completed a Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with a focus on natural language processing.
