Developer's avatar

Resourceful full-stack developer with a heart for purpose-driven tech, skilled in Ruby on Rails and building digital solutions for real-world problems.

What makes me unique as a developer is the blend of purpose, adaptability, and real-world impact that drives my work. I didn’t get into software development simply to build cool apps — I started coding to solve problems that matter to people. From streamlining administrative systems for local government in Zimbabwe to creating an online marketplace that helps small businesses sell car parts more effectively, my projects are always rooted in tangible value and usability. One of my recent accomplishments is developing a digital change-of-use permit system for Harare City Council using Ruby on Rails. What makes this special isn’t just the tech stack — it’s the fact that I took a bureaucratic, paper-heavy process and transformed it into something efficient, trackable, and accessible. It’s a small but meaningful contribution toward digital transformation in a context where it's needed most. I’m passionate about building platforms that empower communities, particularly in underserved markets. Whether it’s launching PartsToGo, a growing car parts marketplace in Zimbabwe, or conceptualizing platforms like TendersZimbabwe, I love taking on the kind of challenges where impact matters more than hype. I bring not only the technical skills — full-stack development, systems thinking, clean and maintainable code — but also a strong sense of empathy and purpose to every line I write. I thrive where others may hesitate: limited resources, unclear paths, and bold ideas. My strength lies in turning vision into product, especially when the goal is to make life easier, more efficient, and more just for real people.

Tech lead/Senior software engineer

I help web development teams go further. I focus on practices that facilitate a leaner journey towards profitable and maintainable software. My goal is to help create efficient, sustainable solutions with people with a long-term vision. Here are some of the ways I've done this in the past: Stepped in mid-project to lead to success the 6-person team in charge of a flawed but critical migration task. Led and mentored people at all experience levels, including small business owners seeking practical, self-managed solutions, early-career developers joining new teams, and experienced developers transitioning to new technologies. Established and evolved the delivery process blueprint for development teams of a freelance collective I co-founded and actively participated in for seven years. Optimized application performance, improved test coverage, enhanced email delivery, facilitated cross-team communication, and strengthened security posture Reviewed countless pull requests, resolved numerous issues, and delivered even more features working closely with internal teams, Advised against hiring me and proposed alternatives when what I bring would not have helped. Although I prefer longer engagements, as I'm convinced the cumulative effect of small, consistent adjustments in the right direction offers more lasting benefits, I can rely on a hard-earned ability to quickly comprehend complex code bases and project contexts to bring meaningful improvements on shorter commitments. I can work in parallel to your project team, delivering high-impact quality of life improvements that often get sidelined, but also integrated into a team as a lead or software engineer, or for shorter engagements, independently, focused on resolving a specific pain point.
