Chinsanka Village, Samfya
Born in Milambo, now known as Chinsanka Village, in Samfya District, Luapula Province. The story begins far from a technology hub—and that distance became part of the drive to build.

Origin
The road to GOLIDE
started long before the code.
Not a polished founder myth. A sequence of small environments, academic pressure, curiosity and increasingly larger systems.

Before the degree. Before the code. Before GOLIDE.
The story begins in Chinsanka Village, Samfya—where curiosity and ambition started long before software, laboratories or GOLIDE.
Chinsanka Basic School
Pre-school through Grade 7. The foundation was simple: learn fast, compete seriously and make the most of what was available.
Miloke Secondary School
Junior and senior secondary school brought academic leadership and competition: first-position results, district SOSTAZ participation in Civic Education, a third-place district Geography result, prefect responsibilities and Academic Prefect in Grade 12.
From Samfya to Rajkot
Six months after the Grade 12 results, the move was from Zambia to Rajkot, India, to study BSc Microbiology at Marwadi University. The first laptop was modest; curiosity about what it could actually do opened the door to HTML, CSS and then Python.
Microbiology met computing
Editing and digital art became practical skills, coding became a serious discipline, and bioinformatics connected software directly to biology. Projects expanded into biological data science, public-health analytics and research interfaces.
Degree, industry, GOLIDE
Returned to Zambia with a BSc Microbiology, First Class with Distinction. After document verification, the first application led to the first interview and first industry role in Quality Assurance at BigTree Beverages, later specialising in syrup and production supervision—while GOLIDE grew as the system connecting software, intelligence and research.
