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.

After bootstrapping and exiting a successful Rails SaaS as both principal engineer and CTO, I decided to focus back on my passion for engineering and architecture. I joined a remote-only startup building a new product with the goal of using the traditional Rails paradigms along with tried and tested technology to quickly get a comprehensive product to market. That "keep it simple" approach got the product into the hands of some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Feature development turned into performance and growth engineering, again, using the same mentality of finding the simplest most effective approach. I am an excellent generalist with experience in most traditional Rails stacks from backend to frontend and able to easily adapt to new technologies (but only where warranted!) I enjoy the challenge of a fast paced startup world of executing on ideas and providing solutions for customers problems with quick deployment and iterative improvements.

Senior software developer with over 22 years of experience building mobile and web apps, with over 12 years building on Rails. To me Rails is more than just a software framework, it's also a development philosophy. The Rails principles like convention over configuration, separation of concerns, keeping it simple, and don't repeat yourself, help create cleaner and more scaleable projects. I'm big advocate for self documenting code, not reinventing the wheel, keeping things consistent, and designing with constraints, always striving for writing very readable and maintainable code. I also like to follow best practises including using trusted gems like Devise for authentication and Cancancan for authorization, and as well as new frameworks like Stimulus, Hotwire and StimulusReflex.

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.

I’m a full-stack developer with a strong passion for building scalable and efficient solutions.
