I am a holder of Bachelor of science honours degree in Geoinformatics and Surveying from the University of Zimbabwe. My degree gave me a broad overview of the broad geospatial domain. The major content areas of the degree were Mine Surveying, Land Surveying, Engineering Survey, Rural and Urban Planning, GIS, Remote sensing, Law, Geodesy and Photogrammetry. In addition to this my degree course had courses in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and Statistics ,the sciences which are the basis of geoinformatics. My studies introduced me to numerous software that are used in the geospatial domain, software such as Surpac, Micro Station, AutoCAD, at Bindura Nickel Corporation(Trojan Mine) in Zimbabwe. I have taken part and ArcGIS, QGIS and programming languages such as Python and Java. I have experience in underground mine survey which I obtained voluntarily as an intern led on several geospatial projects, especially in mining, land and GIS contexts. I carried out an undergraduate project on assessing the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for stockpile surveys in Zimbabwe. I did this at the Trojan mine where I had interned during my vacation. I used the DJI Phantom 3 drone as well as GPS for my comparison. I calculated the volumes of their stockpiles and voids, they wanted to find out how much earth they would need to fill up exhausted mining areas, so that they would be returned to the condition they were in before mining began. I used PIX4D software as well as ArcGiS and provided a 3D model of the stockpiles. I designed the ground control point layout, I also led in the ground survey part of it where we undertook a static control survey. I have been involved on various land survey projects at the company I work at specifically topographical surveys, setting out of buildings, subdivision and consolidation of land parcels for registration of title deeds and have also solved land disputes amongst other things. I was also involved in a GIS exercise which was being carried out by the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company. I interned there during vacation and after I completed college whilst waiting for results. I was a supervisor of the team, we first use Quantum GIS to digitized the maps which we got from the council. We then went on to to data capturing using ODK, during which we would capture the 33kv, 11kV, transformers ,electric meters and would provide details about the functionality of these assets for analysis

I have over a decade’s experience working in local government. I have occupied various positions in my career including six years in middle management. My extensive experience in town planning in local government is namely, land use management, integrated development planning, spatial planning, development planning and strategic planning which also includes project management. I have also gained necessary skills in leadership, people management, professional verbal and written communication skills, performance and financial management, stakeholder engagements, risk management, change management and information sharing. I have a BTech in Town and Regional Planning and a specialist certificate NQF 6 in Project Management obtained at Durban University of Technology. I am also registered as a Professional Planner with the South African Council of Planners. My last position was that of Manager Forward Planning at KSD Municipality where I was responsible for the management of spatial planning projects ensuring that the municipality qualifies as a Metro. This requires a lot of project management skills, advocacy planning and alignment with the municipal Vision and application of all relevant legislation. I was also acting Manager in the development planning unit where I applied my town planning experience in leading both units effectively. I am currently doing town planning freelance/consultation work, where I formulate land development applications, administration, customer services, and financial aspects of freelancing.
