Hello, I am

Mandlenkosi Zwane

Researcher | Developer

Who am I ?

A Researcher / Developer Located In Our Lovely Earth

I have worked in AI and computer vision for quite sometime now, using code to tackle real-world problems in different industries. For instance, I've work in research demonstrating 3d segmented coronatory artery data. I am part of an AI division developing object detection models for road faults. I've been coding in C++ for almost a decade now, and my day job involves using quite a number of frameworks in backend and infrastructure space. In 2023 I won the IITPSA SIGCyber Hackathon. That's right, I'm into penetration testing too, keeping things secure on the digital front. I've also done my fair share in the electronics scene, working as a Junior Production Assistant at a cool electronics company. Leadership? Yeah, got some Gold Hours of Leadership from UCT, but let's not get too formal. I just love doing research, collaborating, leading projects, and helping teams shine. Keen to learn more? You can download my cv or contant me.
