Washington Mbeleki | Software Engineer

01 / About Me

The Story So Far

I'm Washington Mbeleki, a Software Engineering student at WeThinkCode_ — Johannesburg's leading coding academy dedicated to growing African tech talent. What started as curiosity about how things work has become a genuine obsession with building things that work well.

My comfort zone is backend development: clean architecture, efficient logic, and well-designed APIs in Python. But I believe the best developers see the whole picture — so I actively push myself into frontend and systems-level challenges too.

I thrive under pressure and in collaboration. At the e-Gov Hackathon, our team shipped a full product in record time and placed 3rd nationally. I led both the Code Clinics and Robot World projects at WeThinkCode_ — I'm looking for a junior role, internship, or collaboration where I can keep shipping and keep growing.

Work I'm Proud Of

Each project was a real problem with a real solution. Here's how I approached them.

Hackathon 🏆 3rd Place — e-Gov

Thuso Health

Full-Stack Developer · Team: Error 404

⚡ The Problem

During load-shedding, patients across South Africa can't find nearby clinics that are solar-powered and not overcrowded — leading to wasted travel and delayed care.

✅ The Solution

A web app that lets patients discover local, solar-powered clinics with real-time congestion updates, so they make smarter decisions before leaving home.

HTML CSS JavaScript Python Flask Git

GitHub Live Site

Academic Project

Code Clinics

Lead Developer · Group Project

⚡ The Problem

Students at WeThinkCode_ struggled to understand complex concepts and debug code efficiently, with no structured peer-support system in place.

✅ The Solution

A collaborative booking platform where students can schedule 1-on-1 live coding sessions with senior students and tutors — making peer learning scalable and structured.

Python Flask SQLite Bootstrap

Academic Project

Robot World

Lead Developer · Team: The Transformers

⚡ The Problem

Simulating robot movements in a virtual environment for educational purposes was complex and lacked any visual, user-friendly interface.

✅ The Solution

An interactive grid-based simulation built in Java using OOP principles — letting users program a robot's path and actions via CLI, demonstrating real-world class design and encapsulation.
