I care about software that feels obvious, where the hard parts are hidden and the right thing is the easy thing.
I’m a software developer at ZCAS in Lusaka, where I build and maintain the systems thousands of students depend on: registration, academic records, reporting and payments. I work across the stack, from MySQL schemas to React front-ends.
Alongside the institutional work I design and ship my own projects end to end, and I’m available for select freelance engagements.
Currently open to freelance work. Tell me what you’re building and I’ll get back to you within a day.
