I’m Takunda Tafadzwa Denga, a results-driven software engineer from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I design and build enterprise-grade full-stack applications using Java, Python, Node.js, and React, with a focus on scalable backend systems, robust relational databases, and data-driven ML integrations. I enjoy turning complex requirements into maintainable software that delivers real value to users and stakeholders.
Currently, I run Pixel Design Hosting as Founder & Full-Stack Developer, delivering responsive web apps for SMEs and guiding projects through the full SDLC in agile environments.
