Mwai Banda

Software Engineer

I design, develop & deploy end-to-end solutions for Android, iOS, iPadOS, Roku & Web(Frontend & Backend).

I'm enamored with design, its ability to shape reality, the journey from idea to concept, and then to product. All while being authentic & original, empathizing with the end-user to provide an experience that's uniquely tailored to meet that one user's need while fulfilling the business requirement.

I'm currently working as a Mobile Developer at CBN, a faith-based organization building world-class digital media app(Android, iOS, Roku & Web) experiences ranging from video streaming to guided learning experiences.
