Dimpho Ramodise

My name is Dimpho Ramodise, and I’m a Backend Software Engineer with a soft spot for clean code, structured systems, and the sweet satisfaction of a passing build. With over 5 years of experience wrangling Java, Spring Boot, Gradle, REST APIs, Jakarta EE , and the occasional rogue bug, I’ve helped shape everything from fintech platforms to public sector e-commerce systems.

I discovered Java during an internship at BBD and knew immediately that I’d found my language soulmate, logical, reliable, and with just enough quirks to keep things interesting. Since then, I’ve worked with a range of tools (Docker, OpenShift, Jenkins, Git) and databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Sybase, MS SQL) to build systems that not only work, but work well.

Right now, I’m independently developing a full-stack backend system for the City of Ekurhuleni’s Fresh Produce Market. Think inventory, transactions, the whole shebang. I'm essentially a one-person dev team, gathering specs, writing code, deploying solutions, and occasionally talking to myself like a QA team.

What drives me? Growth. I thrive on learning new tech, solving real problems, and collaborating with people who are just as passionate about building things that matter. My goal is to contribute to impactful projects, keep learning (Python is slow going, but I am learning), and bring value with both my keyboard and my mindset.

If you’re looking for someone who can bring strong backend skills, a sense of humor, and a commitment to quality work, you’ve found your guy.
