The product

The Zimbabwe Carbon Registry is the national registry behind the Zimbabwe Carbon Markets Authority (ZiCMA) and its public portal at zicma.org.zw. It is a blockchain-based carbon credit platform aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and the first public release of a platform that Thinkn is rolling out as national registries in Africa.

My role

I’ve been on the project since it started in February 2025, as part of a small team at Thinkn. I’ve worked across all of it: the public website, the client portal, the admin dashboard, the backend and the smart contracts.

What I built

  • Main contributor to the admin dashboard, from shared UI components to review flows.
  • Built the multi-language system and redesigned the generated PDF certificates.
  • Adapted the full platform, including the smart contracts, for a new country launch.
  • Extended the smart contracts with new features and integration tests.

Outcome

The registry is live at zicma.org.zw, and the same platform is being adapted for other countries.
