Hey, I'm Courtney Fradreck
I'm a Zimbabwe-based software engineering student, startup builder, and tech community lead who treats CourtNotes as my public notebook. This space captures the messy-but-fun journey of learning in public, from experiments in Eleventy to reflections on leadership.
By day I'm the CEO and project lead at Proxyon Technologies where we're building AgriLease - a mobile-first marketplace that helps farmers discover, book, and pay for agricultural equipment with trustworthy local logistics and flexible payments. This page is where I connect the dots between that work and the person behind it.
What is CourtNotes?
CourtNotes is the running commentary of my career - raw notes, honest rants, and practical lessons from product design, hackathons, and community leadership. Each post keeps me accountable to building in public and opens the door for future collaborators.
Expect dispatches on software craft, startup execution, and why Africa-focused products need context-aware tooling. If you see an experiment here, it probably shipped in a sprint elsewhere.
Lead, Build, Share
I lead the Proxyon team on AgriLease while also serving as the Tech Lead for GDG on Campus at my university. Coaching peers, running workshops, and refining pitches are as core to my routine as pull requests.
Recent projects span React Native (TypeScript), React + Vite, Tailwind CSS, Firebase, and Eleventy. Clean UI, scalable architecture, and functionality-first decisions keep every build shippable.
Beyond the Keyboard
Long-term, I'm chasing a Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 slot while staying grounded in useful tech. When I'm not prototyping, you'll catch me refining product decks or looping Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Sjava, Nasty C, and A-Reece.
