iOS & Android App Developer. Web Developer.
Game Developer. Electrical Technician.
Self-taught pencil artist. Problem solver by nature.
Joachim Shilongo is a Namibian app and web developer, game developer, electrical technician and self-taught pencil artist. I started coding in Grade 9, beginning a long-running habit of turning ideas into practical software. My portfolio spans 15 app projects, websites and web applications, locally inspired games, real electrical systems and portrait art built one deliberate layer at a time.
A selected look at completed work from a broader portfolio of 15 apps. Actual screens from my apps.
A quicker way to top up: scan a recharge voucher, check the recognised digits and continue without typing every number by hand.
Built around an everyday task in Namibia. The interface brings camera scanning, photo import, manual entry and mobile tools into one clear flow.
Learn how economic news fits into currency markets through structured lessons and practice, rather than unexplained trading signals.
The learning flow starts with currency-pair fundamentals and why news moves prices, then organises topics such as CPI, GDP and retail sales. An educational project, not a promise of trading returns.
A digital front door for KingSauce Hairstudio: explore the salon, book a haircut and keep appointments organised.
The black-and-gold interface combines a visual cover-flow showcase with a direct booking action, appointment navigation and a customer profile.
From a travel business online to a community platform taking shape.
Namibia. From coast to dunes.
A tourism website presenting Namibian tours, lagoon experiences and airport or harbour transfers. Visitors can explore destinations such as Sandwich Harbour and Sossusvlei, then prepare a WhatsApp booking enquiry.
A community behind every status.
A web-app project exploring WhatsApp-status networking: helping people discover one another and build a status audience through voluntary contact exchanges.
My broader portfolio spans 15 apps. This public Android archive documents seven non-wallpaper titles from my earlier developer history, with each record linked to a surviving public archive page.

Penalty Challenge
A 3D football game inspired by Namibia, placing the player in front of goal with a goalkeeper, stadium crowd and a kit in Namibian colours.
The prototype explores player animation, penalty-kick mechanics and the feel of a stadium moment. The supplied sequence captures the setup, strike and follow-through, alongside score and attempt indicators.
NamKick: Penalty Challenge is the proposed working title. The game is not presented as a finished release.

Selected entries retrieved directly from my original Blogger archive.
The archive documents an early thread that still runs through my work today: practical software, technical problem-solving, learning tools and ideas built around real-world use.
I documented a contact-tracing system designed to replace shared paper registers with a faster digital visitor-registration workflow for businesses and organisations.
The archive also records the release of my book Trading NASDAQ from Memory, written as a simplified guide to recognising recurring market patterns and thinking through trade entries.
One of the earliest projects in the archive was a mathematics application built around making schoolwork more visual, interactive and easier to work through.
