ABOUT

1 year ago, I was exactly where you might be now: zero clients, no portfolio, no job, and no money. Today? I'm building profitable micro-SaaS apps, working with international clients, helping solve real-world problems and sharing how to grow on LinkedIn. Here's what changed everything: I stopped building what I thought was cool and started building what people actually needed. The results speak for themselves: ✅ 2024 BancABC Hackathon Winner ✅ First Prize: University of Zimbabwe Research Week ✅ Bronze Award: ICP Blockchain Hackathon ✅ Second Place: Huawei Seeds of the Future My recent solutions that are making an impact: PayFari - Effortless Payments, Anytime, Anywhere. LinkGenie - AI-powered LinkedIn content writing tool Learnhowtoprompt - Master AI prompting for every platform LATS - IOT solution tackling livestock theft in Africa I believe in building solutions that: → Solve real problems → Save people time → Generate actual revenue → Create genuine value Ready to turn your ideas into income? Let's connect and build something that matters.

EXPERIENCE

Software Developer

February 2025 - Present

Linkgenie • United States

Lead full-stack development using TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB , I handle the product roadmap and deploy new features bi-weekly. Integrate with OpenAI APIs, fine‑tuning GPT‑4o and evaluating phrasing to keep LinkGenie ahead of LinkedIn's tone filters. User‑centered improvements: I personally onboard beta users, review transcripts, and re‑train the style model based on real feedback - such as adding two new tone profiles (Empathy + "Coach‑mode") in response to demand. Performance tuning: optimized our serverless pipeline so average response latency is under 300✅ms, even under load.
