About
I'm Sibongakonke Simamane, a driven and technically versatile Systems Development graduate currently working as a Junior Systems Developer at Future ProTechY. I hold a Diploma (HDIPSD2) from Boston City Campus with a 76% Pass with Distinction average.
I work across the full development stack — Java, PHP, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, MySQL, Android, and Astro — with additional expertise in cybersecurity, networking, business analysis, and software testing. I'm passionate about building secure, scalable systems that stay correct under load.
Beyond technical skills, I bring strong foundations in business analysis, requirements gathering, and process management. I'm constantly learning and exploring emerging technologies, particularly in AI workflow implementation and cybersecurity practices.
