I design, build and scale digital systems that connect people, businesses and opportunities — from financial infrastructure and conversational commerce to artificial intelligence and cloud platforms.

Gift Bambi Nzuzi is a Congolese senior developer, software engineer and technology entrepreneur specialising in financial technology, payment gateways, mobile apps and digital platforms.

A developer well before his first production releases, he was putting software into real use by 2018: management apps for schools and pharmacies, websites and academic election systems, for clients in the DRC, Mozambique and North America. Trained in Cisco IT at UNIKIN’s Faculty of Science, in computer maintenance and in embedded systems, he ran the ECODEV centre (“School for developers”) from 2018 to 2022, mentoring young people in new technologies. At UNIKIN he was a Journées Informatiques Tech Challenge finalist with his HORUS project, then IT coordinator of the NTIC unit (2023), and coordinated the IT unit of FMI, the Forum Mathématique-Informatique. Creator of SimplyPaye in 2022 and co-creator of WhatsPay, he is also a co-founder of Business Innovation Group (BIG SAS) and OMNIA, and serves as Chief Technology Officer at DigiLife.

Trained in computer engineering at the University of Kinshasa (UNIKIN), he wrote his final thesis on building a payment gateway for academic fees — an early interest in electronic payments that became the core of his work.

In 2021 he was already leading, with Kongo Technologies, a digital project for market gardeners in Mbanza-Ngungu. He also speaks in the media, notably on RTNC, about artificial intelligence, deepfakes and disinformation.
