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.

Ruby on Rails, React, and more...

I am a passionate full-stack developer, AI researcher, and aspiring biomedical engineer with a strong foundation in software development, data science, and hardware prototyping. My expertise lies in building scalable web applications, designing AI-driven solutions, and leading cross-disciplinary projects in wearable technology and healthcare analytics. In addition, my academic specialization is in data analytics, particularly in regard to bioinformatics, such as Clinical and Genome informatics. Analyzing data with a python-based scripting language, Snakemake, and constructing comprehensive analysis reports with genomics libraries as well as R markdown. With experience in full-stack development using React (Next.js), Express.js, Ruby on Rails, and cloud deployment on Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Fly.io, Render and Heroku, I have developed an inventory management platforms, and AI-driven predictive models, and am currently working on an e-commerce application. I thrive in roles that challenge me to innovate, whether it’s designing seamless user interfaces, optimizing backend performance, or integrating machine learning for real-world applications. Beyond software, I have worked on biomedical and sports tech innovations, including a head-mounted IMU wearable for motion tracking that outperformed industry standards in 3 metric analytics. I also have experience prior to my capstone collaborating in engineering teams to develop smaller prototypes for various technologies such as sepsis monitor, virtual reality training program for biomedical technicals, and various other small projects in my degree. My background in bioinformatics and AI research has allowed me to develop a sepsis prediction model using machine learning, focusing on optimizing predictive accuracy through feature engineering and statistical modeling. I am driven by curiosity, problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering impactful solutions. Whether it’s scaling a startup idea, designing AI models for healthcare, or crafting efficient backend architectures, I bring a blend of technical expertise and entrepreneurial vision.

How's your Domain Model doing?

Hey, how's your Rails app doing? Does it feel ok to work, or is starting to feel like a drag? Or maybe you're just getting and are worried about getting things right out the gate? My take is that your app is missing better tools for Domain Modeling. If your Domain Model isn't in the best shape, it can often be a slog to continue feature development and maintenance. All the little cuts add up and it's just no fun. You need a better approach to get set up well and to stay that way. I'd like to help you out. I'm excellent at feature work and finding elegant solutions that'll take less resulting code and thus there's less to maintain. I've been on the Rails core team, so I also know Rails inside and out. Leveling up Basecamp Here's a lot of the stuff I did at my tenure at Basecamp: Wrote an IMAP-based importer for emails, using Puma's TCP serving, while communicating with a third-party about getting into Gmail's export options Helped elevate the organizations focus on accessibility alongside a third-party contractor, including looking at options for a new foundation for a11y APIs in Rails Invented the underlying idea and internal implementation for Kredis, a flag-ship feature in Rails 7, which replaced one-off Redis data interactions throughout the app Wrote "Since you last visited" with the domain concept of an inbox Glance, it used a Kredis datetime updated when a lazy-loaded turbo-frame would enter the viewport, the frame was injected into an inbox where a sorted Stimulus controller would automatically place it, with CSS the frame was hid the top of the inbox or on a pagination boundary Used Kredis to build out a per-inbox onboarding flow with elegant code Wrote exports for emails and contacts, including inventing geared_refresh_frame_tags which wrapped the exports in the UI and would reload at distinct intervals Came up with an ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes based Filtering class for account filtering, to inject the account condition into queries, also included per account turbo_stream channels to broadcast to — this happened in a code review for a team member Added a Menu view object to consolidate our view logic between HTML and the mobile app's JSON Additionally, I sketched out many potential abstractions, including an ActiveSupport::Policy object to check or abort on conditions. Throughout my entire tenure, I've written excellent code that continually pushed the boundaries of what the organization could do and set an example for other developers there. What I'm Up to I'm the author of several gems that take Rails further without getting in the way of your code. I run a Ruby and Rails community Discord server with 500+ members, giving your team a space to bounce ideas off of other senior Rails developers. We welcome developers of all skill levels!
