About Zulan
Zulan is an alias—a persona through which I project myself into the world. I ask that you accept that implicitly.
My name is Bwalya Cameron Chishimba, and I am a software developer with four years of experience.
I began my programming journey as a full-stack web developer. During my three-year pursuit of a BSc in Computer Science, I developed a deep interest in programming languages, the database management layer, and other low-level systems, as well as core web and blockchain technologies.
These technologies form the backbone of modern life, society, and the world as we know it. Among them, blockchain stands out to me as the next great leap—a transformative force that promises to redefine trust, ownership, and value in the digital age. I believe it holds the keys to a more transparent, secure, and decentralized future.
I'm fanatical about this vision, and I'm committed to contributing meaningfully to the next phase of this ongoing masterpiece—a global system woven together by code, connectivity, and collaboration. To help shape its evolution is both my passion and purpose.

Beyond the Code
I'm Bwalya Cameron Chishimba — though I often go by Zulan — a Zambian systems and Web3-first developer with a deep love for low-level architecture, programming languages, and decentralized systems. My work ranges from building runtimes and databases to pushing forward blockchain-native applications.
I graduated with honors in Computer Science from KIIT University, where I honed my skills in systems programming, AI, cloud computing, and modern software architecture. I approach software with a systems thinking mindset — building lean, scalable, and future-facing infrastructure.
Outside of development, I enjoy reading classic literature and philosophy — from Shakespeare and Nietzsche to Marx, Orwell, and Huxley. I also play basketball to recharge and balance the mental grind with physical flow.
