Passionate software engineer focused on impactful IT solutions.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated software engineer, I believe that my work is not just a job but a calling. My passion lies in developing innovative IT solutions that enhance everyday tasks and contribute to making the world a better place, one line of code at a time. With a Bachelor of Technology in Software Engineering from Harare Institute of Technology, I have honed my skills in various areas of software development, including API integration, backend application development, and web application digitization.
Currently, I serve as a Systems Development Specialist at NMBZ Holdings, where I am responsible for integrating third-party APIs, re-engineering legacy systems, and developing enterprise backend applications. My previous roles have equipped me with a solid foundation in IT support and system development, allowing me to contribute effectively to team projects and deliver high-quality solutions. I am particularly proud of my capstone project, where I designed and developed a blockchain-based foreign currency auction system, showcasing my ability to tackle complex challenges with innovative technology.
