Johannesburg / Software engineering / 5+ years

I build the part between “it works” and “it keeps working.”

I’m Xhanti—a software engineer who moves comfortably from Python services and relational data to test automation, release checks and the realities of production. I like understanding the whole route a change takes, not only the line of code where it begins.

02 / Selected work

What the résumé means in practice.

Not a list of duties. Two places where Xhanti’s range becomes useful.

Digitata Networks 2023—now

Software that has to survive the real world.

Across telecommunications and IoT platforms, Xhanti writes automated checks, investigates production behaviour, works directly with data, builds small operational tools and verifies changes before release.

01 Python, Java, SQL and Bash automation
02 MariaDB investigation and database scripts
03 Production troubleshooting and release verification

The value: one engineer who understands both the change and its consequences.

Takealot.com 2020—2021

Following seller data from schema to screen.

For Seller Portal modernisation, Xhanti developed Python API endpoints for balances and transactions, designed relational schemas, built backend components and carried the same information into React interfaces.

01 Python APIs and repository components
02 Relational schema and supplier services
03 React flows and integration refactoring

The value: fewer hand-off gaps between database, service and interface.

03 / Side projects

Systems built beyond the day job.

Practical products shaped around real workflows—from parking to farm operations.

04 / Working range

Build it. Prove it. Keep it useful.

Select a stage to see how Xhanti contributes. The point is not that every engineer must do everything—it’s that context rarely gets lost when the work crosses a boundary.

The product layer

From a request to a working path through the system.

Python endpoints, backend services, repository components and React interfaces. Xhanti has worked on both sides of an API and understands what each side needs from the other.
