FishTech Precision Feeding System

Late-stage prototype · Pilot 2026

Closed-loop AI instrument for African pond aquaculture. An overhead AI Camera and a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Hailo NPU detect fish, measure them against an auto-calibrated reference, estimate whole-pond biomass with honest confidence intervals, and drive an integrated auger feeder to dispense a precision dose. Runs entirely on the device. Being industrialised for pilot deployment in 2026.

About

About me.

Final-year Computer Science student at NUST with over two years of shipping software that survives contact with the real world. I also know servers, networks, infrastructure, IT governance, SAP and organisational network management.

I care about real problems people actually feel. And my patriotic side isn't subtle about it, I want Zimbabwean and African problems solved, and solved well enough that the gap to first-world countries stops being taken for granted.

Currently
  • Wrapping up BSc Computer Science at NUST (2022 to 2026)
  • Open to remote engineering roles and select Zimbabwean client work
  • Industrialising FishTech for pilot deployment, 2026
  • Resume / CVPDF ↗
