@meloShaya

Hi, I'm Melo Shaya, a passionate developer from a lil known country called Zimbabwe, I love coding and building cool projects, and sometimes break things along the way-oops, part of the fun.

I enjoy creating projects that work well and look great. Trust me, I can turn ideas into clean, functional, and visually appealing solutions—even if it takes a few “why-won’t-you-work” yells at my screen (most of the time!).

When I’m not knee-deep in code, or not busy, I’m exploring new tech, working on side projects, or chasing the latest trends on X like they’re rare Pokémon.

Here's a lil something about me... I’m always excited to learn new skills, solve problems, and build things that make a difference.
