Building systems that last.

The Short Version

I'm Lovemore Chanengeta — a technology executive based in Pretoria, South Africa. I'm the founder of LVMRE, a digital innovation lab I started in 2005, and the founder and CTO of eduSYMS, an education management platform now serving 150+ institutions across Africa.

My work spans education, fintech, agriculture, and enterprise — always focused on building infrastructure that solves real operational problems at scale. I believe Africa's future will be built on systems we design ourselves, and I'm committed to designing the best ones I can.

How I Got Here

I started building software before "startup" was a career path. In 2005, I launched LVMRE as a consultancy, solving problems for businesses that needed custom software but couldn't find anyone who understood their context. That consultancy became a lab — a place to build products, not just projects.

In 2018, I co-founded eduSYMS to solve a problem I'd lived: managing educational institutions at scale. I'd spent years working with schools and colleges — as CTO of Denver Technical College, as Managing Director of Advisor Progressive College — and I knew the tools they were using weren't built for their reality. So we built something better.

Today, eduSYMS handles enrollment, student management, payments, learning, and analytics for institutions across Southern Africa. It's not a tool. It's the operating layer.

Philosophy

I design platforms that scale — not because scale is the goal, but because the problems are continental. When I build a system, I'm thinking about the institution that will use it for the next decade, not the feature that will get shipped next sprint.

The best infrastructure is invisible. It works. It scales. It doesn't require a manual.
