Education

  • MS, Computer Science

    08/2025 – 05/2027

    The George Washington Univerity

    Washington, DC

    I'm currently a graduate CS student in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences on the Software and Systems track. My coursework includes advanced classes in Computer Architecture, Algorithms, Advanced Software Paradigms, Database Systems, Cloud Computing, Software Engineering and Object Oriented Programming and Design.

  • BS, Computer Science

    08/2018 – 05/2022

    University of Zimbabwe

    Harare, ZW

    I built a strong foundation by studying most things Computer Science for 4 years. I took classes in Programming, Data Structures, Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Calculus I, Calculus II, Probability Theory and Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, Theory of Computation, Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Computer Security, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Research and everything inbetweeen. One of the toughest times yet defining moment of my life, I would not trade it for anything. P. S Interning at a Bank in the Software Development division was mind blowing. It set the framework for everything I would eventually grow to become and love, the different aspects software and infrastructure.
