About Me

Hie, my name is Linos! I'm a Computer Science student at Ashesi University with a passion for building technology that solves real-world problems. My journey began in Zimbabwe with a simple coding program called Emzini WeCode, which opened my eyes to the incredible potential of software development. What started as curiosity has evolved into a mission to create accessible financial tools for African businesses.

I love turning complex problems into elegant solutions, from developing Argus.io, my personal finance application, to implementing AI algorithms for data analysis. My experience spans object-oriented programming and mobile development, with a constant drive to expand my skillset. I believe technology should bridge gaps and create opportunities in underserved markets.
