Full-stack developer. I build web apps from database to interface — AI scoring tools, student portals and payment flows, shipped from Harare.
CTO and Co-Founder at Elevate Value Partners, where we are building KreditZW so people the banks overlook can get scored without walking into a branch. I run the Google Developer Student Club at Africa University, which is why I am usually explaining something to someone.

05About
I am a BSc Computer Science student at Africa University, the CTO and Co-Founder at Elevate Value Partners, and Lead Developer at Tarisai. Most of my work sits in the gap between a database and a person trying to use it.
I started out explaining things. Running the Google Developer Student Club at Africa University means I run the workshops, define what everyone is building, and then read the code when it does not work. That is a better way to learn a stack than tutorials, and it is why I am usually the one explaining something to someone.
Before that, I was building. At Elevate Value Partners, we built KreditZW to score credit for people the banking system has historically ignored, over USSD and mobile wallets, because that is how the users actually bank. For my own workflow, my job-automation agent reads job boards, ranks what is worth applying to, and tells me on WhatsApp instead of making me check. And GyMPal is a dark-themed PWA that tracks my skipping and bodyweight routines while working completely offline.
I care about the unglamorous parts. Responsive layout at 360px. Keyboard focus that survives. A build that fails loudly instead of shipping something broken. The interface is the part everyone sees, but it is the last thing I decide.

I am open to freelance and contract work while I finish my degree, so if you have something that needs building, email me and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.

06Off the clock
Five things that have nothing to do with the work.
Formula 1
Lewis Hamilton. It's about the drive and the relentless persistence that made him a seven-time world champion.
Calisthenics
The reason GyMPal exists. A 30-minute skipping routine followed by push-ups and bodyweight work. I built the tracker because every app assumed a gym I do not have.
Food
I love unique foods. I'm always exploring and trying to identify new things, stepping outside the usual comfort zone to see what else is out there.
Anime and manga
Dragon Ball Z. I absolutely love everything about DBZ - the energy, the characters, and the sheer scale of it.
Side projects
Building and maintaining the GDSC web platform. It's a space I'm creating where students can interact, find free courses, and access online schedules so they can learn and connect outside of formal classes.
