Wealthnet Finance (Techsoft Limited), 06/2021 - Present

Position: Software Engineer
Projects: Below are some of the projects that I have worked on so far, under Wealthnet Finance.
Project #1
Project name: Kakupay Smart Money (Mobile money application)
Project Description: Kakupay Smart Money is a mobile money wallet which is currently
available in Malawi. The system is owned by Wealthnet Finance (which is the company I am
working at). Kakupay Smart Money offers a secure way of keeping funds. With Kakupay Smart
Money one can be able to deposit money, withdraw money, send money, receive money, and
buy airtime and to pay other bills, e.g. water and electricity bills.
Project Duration: January, 2021 – Present (We still add features even thou it is already on the
market)
Programming Duration: 6 Months
8 Hours coding/2 Hours testing/ 2 Hours maintenance per day
Responsibilities: My specific tasks in this system were:
  Creating a web portal that is used by a customer to perform different transactions.
Through this web portal the customer is able to send money, withdraw money, pay
merchants, buy airtime for himself as well as for others, check balance and view all his
transactions by date filter. This was just a frontend role because I was communication
with an API that was built by my fellow system developer in the same Company.

Tools used

 React js (Create React App),

 Tailwind CSS,

 Git (Version Controlling).

 Since the system is owned by Wealthnet finance which is a bank I was also tasked to
build an API which can help the tellers to perform their daily tasks. Through the API
Customers are able to deposit and withdraw money from the system through bank tellers.
Tellers are also able to request money from the vault once the day has started as well as
push money back to vault upon the ending of the day. In the money movements between
the teller and the vault there initiate, approve, and accept before the money has finally
migrated from one account to another. Tellers are also able to view their transactions as
well as balance. This role made me to have a better understanding of how banking
systems works.

 I also performed Unit Tests on all the parts that I was working on.
Tools used
 PHP,
 Codeigniter,
 MySQL,
 Postman (For testing the API).
Project #2
Project name: Phindu E-commerce (Online store)
Project Description: Phindu store is another Project that I worked on under Wealthnet Finance
(Techsoft Limited). This is an online store where one can be able to buy and sell products online.
The system supports multiple vendors selling their different products through the system. The
payment method used in this system is Kakupay Smart Money system which I have briefly
explained in the first project under Wealthnet Finance.
Project Duration: Sept, 2019 – present (Features are still being added)
Programming Duration: 5 Months
8 Hours coding/2 Hours testing/ 2 Hours maintenance per day
Responsibilities: My specific tasks in this system were:

 Creating a vendor dashboard which is used by vendors to list their items, manage their
items and employees, and tracking orders and many more. This is a web portal that
allows a vendor to list his products for selling, before the products appears to the
customer the products have to be verified by the admin, so by using this dashboard a
vendor is be able to see if his products were approved or rejected. The vendor is also able
to edit or delete products, he is also able to create his own users to be managing his store,
and he can edit those users as well as delete them. In short this dashboard does provide an
easy way for the vendor to manage his online store.

 There are also small tasks that I supported in this system for example at the Admin
dashboard where products are verified before appearing to the customers and also at the
Courier dashboard where the courier is able to see the product delivery that were assigned
to him.

 I also performed Unit Tests on all the parts that I was working on.

Kakupay Smart Money is a big system as such I have gained a lot of experience in different
aspects over a short period that I have been there. We do a lot of system testing, presentations
with big parties, Integrations with the likes of nitel, click mobile, TNM and many more service
providers. Since kakupay smart money is a big system that is used every day by different people
I have mastered the art of working under pressure, delivering things on time and 24/7 customer
support.

I am a very passionate software developer who is very fast when it comes to learning new things.
Employing me is the decision you will never regret doing.
