Hello! Welcome to my personal website. Mthobisi is a Java Developer and Python Programmer, also qualified as an Electrical Technician currently working for PG Bison. For close to 5 years, I have worked with PLCs such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Schneider, Delta and etc.

Up until recently when I decided to follow my passion which is being the "mastermind" behind the Software. I enrolled for a Software Engineering Bootcamp with Hyperion Development in which we covered Python and Java.( Java OOP, MySQL, Big O Notation,HTML,CSS,Bootstrap and many other programming techniques ).

...I love structure and order, and I also stand for quality. I spend majority of my time learning new programming skills and techniques so to enhance my logical and technical approach in the tech industry. I also prefer spending much time on fixing little details and optimizing software projects. I like working in a team, you'll learn faster and much more. As the saying goes: 'two heads are better than one'. From the learned techniques I have developed real life projects. go to projects
