02 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Curiosity starts it.
Building brings
it to life.

I’m Bathandwa Nogqala, a Cape Town-based developer who enjoys turning real problems into useful software.

My foundation is a National Diploma in Information Technology (Software Development) from the Central University of Technology. Through the CAPACITI–Wipro programme, I built hands-on experience across AI, data, DevOps and Agile team projects.

Today, I develop web applications and automation solutions through LITI Holdings. I’m also looking for a software development role where I can contribute, learn from a team and keep growing as an engineer.
