Ride Yanga

Ride-hailing and parcel-delivery software built around real transport operations in Livingstone.

Ride Yanga connects customers with nearby drivers for rides and parcel delivery. I work across the customer, driver and operations-facing software: shipping features, integrating APIs, troubleshooting production behaviour, supporting notifications and booking workflows, and taking releases through Android and iOS delivery processes.

Development Three Sixty

A voting platform that had to work beyond the demo.

I built a PHP/MySQL system for Development Three Sixty's youth elections, covering registration, supervised ballot authorization, private voting and constituency results. I deployed updates through cPanel, trained polling officers remotely and helped resolve issues during live voting.

WorkSpace

A development workspace for the phone you already have.

I built WorkSpace to bring GitHub repository browsing, source files and a code editor into a compact web interface. The screenshots show the deployed application, with identifying details permanently redacted.

Behind the products

Build useful.
Learn fast.
Keep shipping.

I'm Alfred Mavwu, a Computer Science graduate from Mulungushi University and a software developer based in Zambia. I'm interested in the full journey from understanding a problem to putting a working system in people's hands — and then making it better once reality starts testing it.
