Projects

Two live web demos and a notebook on Lusaka food prices. A course chatroom and two more notebooks are listed below.

  • BookIt Lusaka demo: the sample salon page for Chipo's Braids and Beauty, Kabulonga, with a banner that prices and bookings are examples.

    Demo

    BookIt Lusaka

    A mobile-first booking page in HTML, CSS and JavaScript for Lusaka salons, clinics and barbers. It is a static demo: sample businesses and prices, bookings kept in the browser, and a WhatsApp handoff, with no accounts, server or payment provider.

    Problem
    Lusaka salons, clinics and barbers need a booking page that works on a phone.
    Role
    I wrote this static demo. The sample brand is Chipo's Braids & Beauty, Kabulonga. The business, staff, prices and bookings are fictional.
    Stack
    HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Bookings stay in the browser. There is no account system, no server and no payment provider.
    Outcome
    A visitor picks a sample service, an optional staff member, a date and a time, then confirms on WhatsApp. Prices are labelled example, and the mobile-money step is marked Demo and charges nothing.

    Live demo Repository

  • ZedDrive Motors demo home page for a fictional Lusaka dealer, with a banner that the cars, prices and contacts are sample data.

    Demo

    ZedDrive Motors

    A mobile-first site for a fictional Lusaka dealer, with sale filters, rental date totals and a WhatsApp handoff. ZedDrive Motors is fictional: the cars, prices and contact details are sample data, and the deposit screen takes no payment.

    Problem
    Show what a fast, WhatsApp-first site can look like for a Lusaka dealer that sells and rents cars.
    Role
    I wrote this mobile-first demo. ZedDrive Motors is fictional, and every car, price, review and contact is sample data.
    Stack
    HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Sale filters cover make, price, year, body type, gearbox and fuel. Choosing rental dates shows a total.
    Outcome
    The live demo lists sample cars. The deposit step opens a fake mobile-money prompt, then WhatsApp. No payment is taken and nothing is stored.

  • Chart from the Lusaka food prices notebook: retail price per kilogram of white maize, breakfast mealie meal and roller mealie meal.

    Notebook

    Lusaka Food Prices Analysis

    Analyses World Food Programme retail prices for maize, mealie meal and fuel with pandas and matplotlib/seaborn, one question at a time, keeping each comparison in a single unit and price type.

    Problem
    White maize and mealie meal are everyday foods in Zambia. The notebook asks how Lusaka retail prices have moved, one question at a time.
    Role
    This is a first data-analyst portfolio project. I wrote the notebook.
    Stack
    Python, pandas and matplotlib/seaborn. The file is World Food Programme retail prices, in ZMW only. A kilogram, a 20 L tin and a 25 kg bag are never averaged together.
    Outcome
    The executed notebook reports Lusaka white maize at 0.86 ZMW/kg in 2003 and 3.74 ZMW/kg in 2021. The kwacha price rose far more than the dollar price. Per-kilogram maize quotes for Lusaka end in August 2022.

  • Notebook

    Lusaka road safety

    Charts published crash totals for Lusaka Province, 2016–2024, with pandas and matplotlib/seaborn: severity, causes, timing, and how Lusaka compares with other provinces. The tables are yearly and quarterly aggregates, not one row per crash.

    Lusaka air quality

    Answers six questions on daily air quality in Lusaka, from 1 August 2022 to 18 February 2026, with pandas, matplotlib and seaborn. The figures are modelled CAMS estimates from Open-Meteo, not ground-monitor readings and not an official health report.
