01About Me

Software, systems & a soft spot for AI

Tinotenda Jecha

Based in

Gqeberha, South Africa πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦

I'm a full-stack software developer who builds robust, production-grade web applications end to end β€” from polished frontends to the APIs and databases powering them.

What sets my work apart is a deep specialization in AI systems: I design and ship retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, multi-agent workflows, and LLM-powered features using LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and vector databases like Pinecone and Qdrant. If you need a smart, reasoning system built on top of language models β€” or a workflow automated with AI agents β€” that's where I thrive.

Alongside client and freelance work, I facilitate software development training at CTU Training Solutions, mentoring the next generation of developers on modern engineering practices.
