Hi, I'm Takudzwa Shumbamhini
A passionate software engineer, consultant, and problem solver dedicated to creating innovative solutions that make a difference in the digital world.
About Me
I specialize in full-stack software development and embedded systems engineering, working with technologies that bridge the gap between the digital and physical world. My experience ranges from building secure Linux-based microcontroller systems on Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, and Sonoff smart switches, to designing AI-driven IoT monitoring tools, REST APIs, and modern web interfaces using frameworks like React, Next.js, and Node.js.
Beyond code, I'm passionate about mentorship, embedded software development, and open-source collaboration. I believe the best way to grow as an engineer is to share knowledge, contribute to the community, and help others succeed.
