Hi, and welcome.

My name is Kwanele Simelane, and I'm a fullstack developer based in Mbabane, Eswatini. I have developed vast types of web applications, from simple static websites to dynamic applications that power some of the biggest tech firms in the country.

I am passionate about cutting-edge technology, and beautiful interfaces that inspire you to do more with just tech in front of you. 👨🏾‍💻

Eswatini MarketSquare

During my tenure at FNB Eswatini, my core duties were to mould to perfection the Eswatini MarketSquare Website. A project that seeks to bring all the everyday resources to one square. "Do you need a plumber? Find them on MarketSquare!" and yes, I took over the reigns from a design agency to build this website using WordPress, and a bit of pure PHP and JavaScript to extend it's functionality.

Soap Shop Supplies

This is one of the many projects I worked on while I was at ScopeHost. It's primarily built with Wordpress since it does does not require complex user input processing. Building this website included exercises in photography, and photo editing, graphics manipulation and critical thinking capabilities to best craft the website specific to the organisation's needs.

Apply SaSa

I, together with 3 other brilliant developers collaborated to create this beautiful project that aids in simplifying the process it takes for students leaving senior secondary to apply at tertiary institutions. This project was facilitated by The Knowledge Institute, and the tech stack used was Django (Python Framework) for the backend and React (Javascript Library) for the frontend.

music-player (app)

The HTML Audio API provides an interface to manipulate audio files with the help of a few JavaScript libraries. For this little app, I was experimenting on a music player and I was able to come up with something that extracts MP3 metadata from ID3 metadata container, a de facto standard for MP3 files. This App can be used as building blocks to creating Apps like Soundcloud and Bandcamp

img-processor

Sometimes I just like to play around a few html native APIs. This little app does basic image processing and can be used as builidng blocks to create advanced image processing tools similar to Instagram Editor and other image editing tools

drag-and-drop

This sortable list app utilises the html drag and drop API to sort through a list of my favourite songs. It's a short script that allows you to sort through the list while the checking if the order is correct. This API can be used as building blocks to create complex projects such as task management and collaboration applications as well as interactive image galleries.
