What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building reliable backend applications, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and translating business requirements into high-quality technical solutions.

At Capitec Bank, I develop and maintain scalable back-end applications and RESTful APIs using Java and Spring Boot. I optimise SQL queries, build JUnit test cases, monitor system health through Instana, and contribute to CI/CD delivery processes.

My earlier customer-facing and operations roles at Capitec Bank and Truworths strengthened my ability to translate business needs into practical solutions, collaborate across teams, and resolve issues in high-volume environments.
