Isaac Tshiteta

I am a Mechatronics Engineer turned Software Engineer. I built a platform recognized as the second-best Engineering Innovation in Africa by the Royal Academy of Engineering 2021 Africa Prize and featured on BBC World News. 

I have 4+ years of experience with Javascript, React, and NextJS. 

I have a diverse and enriching professional journey in the realms of software engineering and entrepreneurship. As a Frontend Engineer at Manual, I was at the forefront of developing a cutting-edge wellness platform. My key contributions encompassed the development of high-revenue generating sections and spearheading the migration of projects from React to NextJS. My innovative strategies led to a notable 10% boost in conversion rates within a mere two weeks and the inception of a new UI library that accelerated the development process.

Beyond my role at Manual, I took the entrepreneurial leap by co-founding BlueAvo, a specialized marketplace for African creatives. As a Co-founder & Full Stack Engineer, I played a pivotal role in the development and launch of this platform, which garnered recognition for its engineering innovation. At BlueAvo, I employed state-of-the-art technologies to craft a user-centric platform, streamlined workflow processes and architected a scalable infrastructure. My endeavours were recognized when the platform was honoured as a joint runner-up for the Best Engineering Innovation in Africa by the Royal Academy of Engineering Africa Prize in 2021.

My professional experiences underscore my technical acumen, innovative approach, and capability to catalyze significant business growth.

I hold a degree in Mechatronics Engineering from the prestigious  University of Cape Town. My degree is a specialization in Control Engineering and Robotics. This academic background has equipped me with a robust foundation in engineering principles, critical problem-solving abilities, and a diverse set of technical skills.
