About
Hi I'm Kwanele, a Software Developer. Passionate about technology, I craft software that lives at the crossroads of elegance and utility, where clean but sophisticated technology meets the pulse of everyday life. My focus is on transforming complex problems into intuitive digital experiences, bridging the gap between innovation and the people it’s meant to serve.
Currently a fullstack developer at Digimage, specializing in API integrations and accessibility, I contribute in the upgrading of systems, integrating payments and customizing interfaces, ensuring applications are built to meet industry standard whilst employing best practices to deliver inclusive user experiences
I've had the opportunity to express my abilities with established industry players including FNB Eswatini, ScopeHost, and volunteer placements with The Knowledge Institute, Emlalatini Development Centre, to name a few

Web Developer — FNB Eswatini
At FNB Eswatini, I led the transformation of the Eswatini MarketSquare Website, creating a centralized hub for everyday services across the country. Taking over from an external agency to drive development, optimization, and enhanced user experience — I leveraged the power of WordPress with custom PHP and JavaScript, to deliver tailored functionalities that went beyond standard templates. The result: a scalable, high-impact platform connecting users with essential services seamlessly.
