@modisamukwena
Full-stack software engineer with 3+ years building secure web, mobile, and backend systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack software engineer with 3+ years of hands-on development experience, including 1 year in a professional production environment. I build web, mobile, and backend systems with Laravel, React, React Native, and Next.js, with strong exposure to API design, payment integrations, dashboards, geolocation, and production deployments.
At Mviyo Technologies, I contributed across backend APIs, mobile applications, dashboards, and deployment workflows on multiple production systems. I built Laravel APIs for authentication, event management, ticketing, and transaction processing on ZimTickets, and integrated EcoCash, PayPal, and Stripe for secure online payment flows.
I also developed React Native features like event discovery using Google Maps API, ticket purchasing, QR workflows, and user ticket history, plus React-based organiser and admin dashboards for event creation, pricing, sales monitoring, and analytics. I enjoy shipping reliable experiences—whether that’s improving a Next.js marketing site for responsiveness, performance, and SEO or supporting mobile, backend, and portal features like scheduling, payments, approvals, and QR verification.
