My name is Mangaliso Sabola, and I have over a decade of experience in software development and quality assurance. I hold a National Diploma and a Bachelor of Technology in Information Communication Technologies, specializing in Software Development. My career began as a lecturer and facilitator, where I explored innovative ways to visualize GitHub collaboration and developed REST APIs using FastAPI and PostgreSQL.

Currently, I work at Enhlanzeni District Municipality, focusing on functional and performance testing for major clients like Eskom and Vodacom. My responsibilities include evaluating software quality, preparing test cases, and automating testing processes. I have a strong technical background, proficient in languages such as Python and C++, and frameworks like React and Node.js. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance software quality and user experience.
