Hi, I'm Phiwakonke Mthethwa 👋

Full-Stack Developer building purposeful software for Africa and beyond.

About Me

I'm a Full-Stack developer based in Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa, and welcome to my GitHub profile. I come from a Mechanical Engineering background, which shapes how I approach software/dev — I like systems that are well-structured, reliable, and built to solve a real specific problem rather than a hypothetical one.

I build across the stack — from logistics platforms connecting carriers across the SADC region, to booking systems for real guest houses, to backend APIs following Clean Architecture and CQRS. Alongside development, I'm growing a few entrepreneurial ventures (a car restoration business and more), so I care as much about shipping something that actually works for a real business as I do about the code itself.

  • 🔭 Currently building AfriHaul (logistics platform) and Solana Villas (holiday booking platform for Hazyview, Mpumalanga).
  • 🌱 Actively preparing for junior developer roles and strengthening my knowledge in modern stacks.
  • 💬 Ask me about Next.js, .NET/C#, Angular, or Prisma + PostgreSQL
  • ⚡ Fun fact: I love Manchester United(I know right).
