I'm Sibusiso Nkabinde, a Full-Stack Developer from Pretoria, South Africa, focused on building websites, backend systems, and REST APIs that solve real problems for real businesses.
I trained at WeThinkCode_, where I earned an NQF Level 5 diploma in IT: Systems Development, covering OOP, multithreading, full-stack development, unit testing, and end-to-end deployment. Since then I have been shipping production systems and client websites for businesses across South Africa.
Today I work at Idea Pioneers, engineering API systems, automating workflows, and owning full release pipelines from staging to production across AWS, Google Cloud, and Vercel.
I'm always open to interesting projects and new opportunities. If you have a problem worth solving, let's talk.
