Hi there 👋

I am a freelance Python/Django Developer. I am a former President of the DSF (Django Software Foundation) and was previously a Software Engineer at BriteCore. I am based in Harare, Zimbabwe and have worked remotely for a few years.

I have over 13 years of experience in the ICT sector and previously held multiple positions in Zimbabwe and globally. I received a BSc (Hons.) in Computer Science from Midlands State University and an MSc in Strategic Management from Chinhoyi University.

Since 2015 I have focused on Python/Django development and have been very active in the community as a conference speaker, Django Girls Trustee, and member of the DSF’s Code of Conduct Committee. I have served on the DSF Board of Directors from 2018 to 2022. I have held the position of Vice President (2019-2020) and President (2021-2022).

I am the lead maintainer of the open source Django Girls repo where I write code, update documentation, review pull requests, and maintain the server. Recent work includes updating the project from Django 2.0 to 3.2 in stages and improving the layout.

  • 🔭 I’m currently working on a scripts project for automating creating new Django projects using Docker.
  • 🌱 I’m currently learning data structures and algorithms in Python when I am not working on my projects.
  • 😄 Pronouns: she/her.
