01About

A builder's approach to engineering — and to a country.

I'm Tinofaranashe Ishmael Chogugudza — most people call me Sherlock. I'm a Mechatronics Engineer and a co-founder of Giga Tech, a renewable-energy engineering company. I graduated from Chinhoyi University of Technology, and my work sits where electronics, mechanical design, and software meet.

These days my focus is Giga Tech — building the engineering foundations for a company I believe can grow into serious industrial systems integration, starting with renewable power and climbing toward automation and control.

Beyond the technical, I think a lot about purposeful work — how engineering can be part of building a stronger Zimbabwe, and how to stay deliberate rather than drift through the years that matter most.

A renewable-energy company
with an engineer's roadmap.

Visit Giga Tech →

Giga Tech starts where the demand is real today — residential solar — and is built to climb toward something far bigger: industrial systems integration on the scale of the companies that power nations. Being founded by a mechatronics engineer isn't incidental; it's the differentiator that lets us go deeper than installation.

PHASE 01 · NOW

Solar Infrastructure

Residential solar installation and power systems — building delivery capability, trust, and cash flow.

PHASE 02 · NEXT

Energy Intelligence

Commercial solar, monitoring, and IoT-driven energy management — turning power into data and control.

PHASE 03 · VISION

Industrial Automation

SCADA, automation, and systems integration — the long climb toward industrial-scale engineering.

05Education

Where the foundation was built.

Chinhoyi University of Technology

BEng (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering

Graduated · Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe

My dissertation research focused on tactile sensing for detecting internal bleeding — a medical-robotics challenge demanding precision modelling and real-world reliability. Coursework spanned control systems, robotics, embedded design, and industrial management, with project work on national-development themes.
