Bitcoin
Created 10 years ago in Other

I have been a Bitcoin Evangelist ever since I discovered the technology in July 2013. I was particularly drawn to it and impressed by it's ability and potential to empower people. Between then and now, I have started the following projects:
- A Bitcoin Exchange exchange in Zimbabwe
- Designed and Bitcoin ATM
- A project called Bitcoin Dictionary and the problem this project aims to solve is that there is no single authoritative source standardised definition of the terms that the people in the Bitcoin space are continually coming up with. Bitcoin Dictionary is putting the definitions of all the Bitcoin-related terms on http://bitcoindictionary.org and allowing contributors to contribute on https://github.com/BitcoinDictionary/bitcoindictionary.

I spend half my time in some server room and the other half in a board room. I’ve been writing Software since before I went to high school. Over the years, I've mastered my craft in the different IT areas of Software Engineering, Security, System Administration and Data Engineering; So I can hold my own in that server room when I’m debating the engineers on tabs vs spaces. Despite being (primarily) an Engineer, I’ve also started from scratch, raised VC money and scaled tech companies to thousands and thousands of users (not once but) 3 times and because of my Executi ve experience in Africa's Tech Space, I’m often called upon to help Company Leads solve hard problems around strategy, security, making difficult technology stack decisions and tackling problems of scale (such as rapidly building engineering teams). I want to work on problems where my contribution will have a meaningful impact and I have a bent for working in a high-performance team that is solving a very very difficult problem.

Tawanda takes clients very seriously, and is always responsive no mattter how many times you call or email him. He created the most amazing and highly celebrated Website for the organisation I work with, (RAU), and I strongly recommend him for work involving web design and architecture. I have also found Tawanda to be helpful and free to share his knowledge, even on some issues some people would charge for. He has a great attitude and offers good advice on options to take. I am glad he did work for us, and would happily engage him again for related work.

He is so dedicated, passionate about development patient and results oriented. I wanted the correct things right from the beginning. I would love to work with Him always. His project management skill is excellent and I desired to learn more from Him
Source: LinkedIn Stephen Nyatsine Dec 11, 2014It’s not very easy to write a recommendation note for Tawanda because its hard to articulate his skills and way of thinking. During the time we worked together in the UZ Web Team, Tawanda was often the most innovative and resourceful person in our team. He is also a natural leader. Tawanda especially thrives in an environment where you are expected to innovate, but with very minimal resources.
