Highlighted Projects

Full-stack developer

A digital talent marketplace connecting Mozambican students and graduates with employment, entrepreneurial and academic opportunities, built around multiple profile types (talent, companies, institutions, investors) and skills-based matching.

• Four distinct account types sharing one opportunity model.
• Anonymous browsing plus a blacklist, so a candidate can look around without their current employer noticing.
• Skills-based matching with opportunity notifications, instead of a search box and hope.

Sole developer, and the subject of my thesis

A full-stack incubator management system built for the Eduardo Mondlane University business incubator, and the subject of my undergraduate thesis. It follows a startup through the entire journey, from application and pre-incubation to incubation and demo day, with startup and mentor registration, configurable performance tracking, statistical reporting and an event calendar.

• Models the incubation lifecycle as explicit phases, so a startup cannot silently skip a stage.
• Configurable performance metrics and milestones, because every incubator measures success differently.
• Role-based access separating incubator managers from the incubated startups themselves.
• An application flow that turns prospective startups into records without manual data entry.

Founding member and technical lead at Kudondza Solutions

A tutoring platform built for Kudondza Solutions, the education technology startup I co-founded, incubated at the Eduardo Mondlane University. Students find and book tutors, subject communities give them somewhere to ask questions, and mobile money handles the payments.

• Mobile money payments through the M-Pesa SDK, which is how money actually moves in Mozambique.
• Push notifications with Firebase Cloud Messaging, so a session request does not depend on someone refreshing a page.
• Real-time chat scoped to active tutor and student pairs, rather than an open messaging free-for-all.
• Subject communities with posts, comments and likes, to capture the questions that do not justify booking a session.
