Mukelwa Hlatshwayo
Software engineer at Digiata in Johannesburg. From Pongola, KZN, where I build websites for local businesses.
I was born and raised in Pongola, KwaZulu-Natal, finished at Langa High School in 2020 and studied Computer Science and Informatics at the University of Johannesburg.
In 2024 I moved to Johannesburg and joined Digiata, where I have worked on projects for Nedbank and Discovery. Back home I build websites for local businesses, and one of them takes real orders every day.
When I am not coding I play chess, cricket and soccer.
