Software Engineer at Wipro, working across DevOps, artificial intelligence, and data analytics after developing African-language translation technology at Uliza.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
At Wipro, I work across DevOps, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. Before that, as a Software Developer at Uliza, I developed and enhanced African-language translation technology using Python, Django, Google Apps Script, and JavaScript.
At Uliza, I also contributed to expanding the African-language data catalog and created and maintained automation scripts. That work supported translation capabilities and team efficiency.
At INVELONTLE Group, I developed and maintained web applications using Node.js, React.js, Python, and PostgreSQL. I also implemented backend services and APIs, used Supabase for authentication and real-time features, and contributed to database and performance improvements.
My background also includes IT support, teaching mathematics, and running a computer repair business. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Statistical Science from the University of Western Cape, and I'm seeking a challenging full-stack web development position where I can contribute to innovative projects and continue growing professionally.
