The Early Genius
Before co-founding Zap Africa, Moore had already demonstrated a knack for building groundbreaking technology. From a young age, he was gifted with the ability to understand and design complex systems. He believes technology is the closest thing we have to magic. That it is a tool that can rewrite economic realities, create wealth, and break down barriers.
In 2018, he built a top-charting mobile game, Color Match, at just 18 years old which charted #2 on Play Store and #4 on the App Store. He also developed an AI-powered risk detection model to detect sexual predators in chatrooms in 2020.
As a high achiever, Moore placed 3rd at Facebook’s #Hackathon4Justice in 2019 and was the winner of the Goldman Sachs’ University Hackathon in 2020 .
