Data Analyst · Quantitative Researcher · Economist
Graduate researcher at George Washington University turning complex data into decisions — from NLP pipelines on Wall Street earnings to stochastic models optimizing portfolios under uncertainty.
I'm a graduate student in Data Analytics at George Washington University (M.S., expected May 2027), with a B.Sc. in Economics from Bindura University of Science Education, Zimbabwe.
My work lives at the intersection of quantitative finance, machine learning, and policy — where numbers tell stories that move markets and shape decisions.
Before GWU, I served as a Macroeconomic & Marketing Research Officer at Varun Beverages Zimbabwe, applying VAR modeling to structural economic regimes. That analytical DNA runs through everything I build today.

Transformer-powered NLP pipeline that scores linguistic uncertainty and sentiment in S&P 500 earnings call transcripts — generating investable signals from executive language patterns before the market reacts.
Two-stage stochastic programming model with Bull / Normal / Bear scenarios, full EVPI and VSS analysis, implemented in AMPL with Gurobi. Formally defended before Dr. Miguel Lejeune at GWU.
End-to-end pipeline classifying financial news sentiment with VADER and five ML classifiers cross-referenced against SPY ETF price movements. Extracted statistically significant alpha signals from raw news text.
Applied principal component analysis across 329 US cities using 20+ socioeconomic indicators — reducing 20 dimensions to 4 principal components and producing a ranked, visualized quality-of-life index.
AAON's subsidiary BASX delivered 143% revenue growth to $548M in FY2025, driven almost entirely by hyperscaler data center cooling demand from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon — yet the market prices BASX at a mere 4.6× forward revenue, applying a deep discount rooted in three misunderstood fear factors.
Through a six-phase research process using Perplexity Computer to mine alternative data signals, I uncovered a West Coast BASX Technical Sales Manager job posting directly targeting hyperscaler campuses in Washington and California — a finding no sell-side analyst had published. This single data point refutes the customer concentration bear case entirely.
My SOTP model yields a $95 price target by 2027 (~18% upside from ~$81), with an acquisition floor near $105 given BASX's strategic value to any industrial HVAC acquirer.
Using Perplexity Computer, I identified a West Coast BASX Technical Sales Manager job posting (April 2026) explicitly targeting Microsoft, Google, and Amazon campus infrastructure in Washington and California. This single hiring signal — invisible to traditional sell-side research — directly contradicts the customer concentration thesis and signals BASX is actively expanding its hyperscaler relationships, not contracting them.
Led macroeconomic analysis and consumer market research for Zimbabwe's beverage sector. Applied VAR modeling across structural economic regimes to forecast demand; produced high-stakes intelligence reports informing C-suite strategy.
Conducted economic research and policy analysis for development-focused programs. Synthesized quantitative and qualitative data into concise policy briefs for program evaluation, stakeholder reporting, and grant applications.
I'm actively seeking summer internships in investment research, quantitative analytics, data science, clean energy finance, and policy analysis. Visa sponsorship required.
