Twins, Zara and Zenobia, come from a tech-savvy family. Their father provoked their interest in the software while he was working from home during worldwide coronavirus lockdowns. The girls self-taught themselves the basics of programming under the supervision of their father.
They started learning about software from there and learned basic programming by themselves. Later, schools resumed but they did not leave their interest behind and continued to build on their interest in programming. These twin sisters started replicating applications gaining experience from the web in their free time and build expense management solutions for their father.
