Sakhile Dumisa

I'm Sakhile Dumisa, a Freelance Full-Stack Engineer and Data Engineer (Learner) from KwaZulu-Natal. I hold a BIS in Information Science and build with TanStack Start for web apps, Hono.js for microservices, and I'm learning Golang for network services. My mission? Helping businesses escape the weight of legacy systems through clean, practical solutions that actually scale. I'm a pragmatist at heart, but I'll always make time for a beautiful UI.
