DEPT. 01 — ABOUT ME PAGE A1 · COL. 1–6

A FULL-STACK KID FROM LUSAKA.

The load-bearing facts — edited down to what actually matters.

I’m an aspiring full-stack developer from Lusaka, Zambia. I recently completed the IB Diploma Programme at Pestalozzi Education Centre and am spending my gap year building real things for real clients before heading into a marketing degree.

I work mostly with Next.js, React, and WordPress, and I care about how a site looks, how it feels, and how well it converts — in that order, give or take. The current obsession is small nonprofits whose websites don’t yet match their work.

Outside the editor: environmental advocacy and youth-led climate work. Interests I plan to carry into everything I build — which is partly why this portfolio exists at all.

I’ll gladly trade a meeting for a coffee in Lusaka, or a video call elsewhere.

// HOW IT GOT MADE PROCESS · IN FOUR ACTS

LISTEN

Sat with the team. Mapped the campaign goal, the donor journey, and where the old site was leaking attention.

STRIP

Pulled out anything that didn’t serve the donation. Rebuilt nav around ‘give’ as the primary verb.

SHIP

Mobile-first build in WordPress with Givebutter wired in for live tracking. Custom 20th-anniversary motion.

AMPLIFY

LinkedIn rollout to time the launch with the campaign. The site convinces; social brings the audience.
