Building a Viral REST API: The Story Behind Love-as-a-Service
How I built a viral API project that reached 13,000+ impressions in its first week using Next.js Edge Runtime.
I'm a programmer and game developer from Malawi, fluent across the full stack—from kernel-level systems to dynamic web applications. My journey started with Python, but evolved into mastering compiler design, building game engines, and architecting elegant solutions to complex problems. Founder of Veigatec, currently shaping the future at NACIT. Whether it's designing custom programming languages, optimizing memory-critical systems, or deploying scalable APIs, I write code that performs at every layer.
