Hi, I am Rygel Louv
I have been working as a Software Engineer for the last 11 years, including almost 8 years in the Fintech industry building mobile financial applications. In the past, I had the chance to build, train, and lead a team of mobile engineers. And for the past 4 years, I have worked with some of the smartest people in the world to help build a world of fair, fast and flexible remittances at Zepz, the company behind the brands SendWave and WorldRemit.
Outside of work, I co-host a Software Engineering podcast, write blog posts, give technical talks at local developer communities and conferences around Africa, I used to mentor online students on Python and Android, and I work on some open source projects.
In 2024 I built Tanga as a side project. Tanga is a mobile app that aims to be the simplest and most focused way to experience life-changing book summaries.
In 2025, I spent the year learning Agentic AI and building AI agents. I built GolMine AI, an Agentic Product Idea Validation Platform.
