AgroLink
Agro-dealer intelligence platform: demand forecasting, cryptographic seed verification and USSD/SMS reach for every farmer in Zimbabwe.
What I built
- Built a hybrid ML model forecasting seed demand 6–8 weeks ahead across 60+ districts and 7 agro-ecological zones, blending planting calendars, live weather data and aggregated scan activity.
- Designed a three-layer anti-counterfeiting system: HMAC-SHA256-signed QR codes, per-bag serialisation supporting 99,999+ bags per lot, and GPS fraud mapping of duplicate scans.
- Designed a USSD and SMS fallback modelled on airtime scratch cards, so seed verification and planting guidance reach feature-phone farmers with zero data — no farmer excluded.
- Designed a national seed credit account system — pay at any depot, collect at any depot — with instalment tracking analogous to actuarial cash-flow and credit risk modelling.
- Specified a sub-5KB offline-first PWA landing page loading under 3 seconds on 2G, with Service Worker caching for zero-signal return visits.

If AgroLink is close to something you're working on, I'd be glad to talk — collaboration, contract work, or research.
