About Me

A quick timeline of the places that shaped how I approach UX, business, and engineering.

About Me
Finding my pace in Oulu - learning, building, and connecting.
  1. 2023–2025

    Finland: The Convergence flagFinland: The Convergence

    I moved to Finland to bridge the gap between "building things" and "building the right things." My Master’s in Information Systems and Software Engineering allowed me to deep-dive into the friction point where UX, business strategy, and code meet. Whether I’m working as a developer or exploring early-stage startup ideas, my focus is on the Product Engineer mindset, ensuring that every line of code I write serves a user need and a business goal.

    China: The Foundation flagChina: The Foundation

    Living in China introduced me to the sheer speed and scale of modern technology. While earning my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering and discovering my passion for web development, I gained practical experience by starting a small business exporting Smart IoT Security Systems. Beyond the technical side, I spent time creating digital content and lesson plans for English schools, which taught me how to adapt my communication for different audiences. It was here I realized that software is most powerful when it’s used as a tool to bridge global gaps.

    Zimbabwe: The Roots flagZimbabwe: The Roots

    My journey started in Zimbabwe, where my perspective was shaped by the balance of nature and logic. Growing up with a love for farming and fishing gave me a natural patience and an appreciation for systems that grow over time. Academically, I focused on Economics and Mathematics, which built the analytical foundation I use today to solve complex architectural problems in web development. I’m a builder at heart, shaped by the grit and community of my home.
