01 Music technology · Marketplace Live · launched Aug 2026

MeloFlip

A beat-licensing marketplace that connects Zambian music producers with artists. Designed, built and operated end to end.

The problem

Local producers had few dedicated channels to sell their beats, and artists lacked a trusted place to discover, preview and properly license instrumentals using payment methods they actually have.

My role

Founder, product lead & developer. Product strategy, UX, full-stack build, launch and operations, coordinating a five-person team across marketing, admin, finance and legal.

What I built

Producer and artist roles, authentication, uploads, a searchable catalogue, watermarked previews, cart and licensing checkout, and dashboards for both sides.

02 Hospitality technology · Web app Live

Mama Mia

A mobile-first digital menu for Mama Mia Restaurant, so guests can browse, search and decide what to order in seconds.

Why it matters

Printed menus go out of date and are slow to browse. A responsive menu keeps prices and specials current and puts every dish one tap away on the customer’s own phone.

Key features

Live open/closed status, dish search, 16 visual categories, today’s specials, popular picks, sorting by price or most liked, and dish detail views.

03 Enterprise software · Operations In delivery · 2026

Epitome

A custom business management system that brings people, attendance, payroll, stock, sales and finance approvals into one controlled platform.

The challenge

A growing engineering business needed one system for its people, stock, sales and money, with controls strong enough that no single person can approve an entire financial workflow.

My role

System developer & technical lead. Requirements with the client, data model, application build, testing and deployment planning.

Engineering highlights

Role-based permissions and separation-of-duties approvals, attendance-driven pay, per-line VAT, and a latest release validated by 168 automated checks.

03 About

I build software where engineering, product thinking and people meet.

I’m Zoey, a software developer and technology founder based in Lusaka, Zambia. I’m completing a BSc in Computer and Information Science at the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), with graduation expected in November 2026.

In 2024 I founded Leo Web, a digital studio through which I’ve delivered websites and custom business applications for more than 15 organisations, handling everything from discovery and technical planning through to deployment and support. In 2026 I launched MeloFlip, a live music marketplace where I lead product and engineering.

Alongside building products, I’ve worked in programme coordination, digital communications and data analysis for regional and national organisations. That experience shapes how I build: start from the real problem, communicate clearly with the people involved, and ship things people can actually use.

I’m most interested in scalable web technologies and human-centred digital products, and in contributing to ambitious teams that build them.

    Problem before pixels

    I start from the user, the business constraint and the data, then design the simplest system that solves it.

  • 02

    Built to be operated

    Roles, permissions, approvals and admin tools are first-class features, because real organisations run on them.

  • 03

    Ship, listen, iterate

    Launch early, learn from real users and feedback, and improve in small, reliable releases.
