Tlhompho Ratlhogo

My name is Tlhompho Ratlhogo, birth place Stompo, Deinnilton, Limpopo. I'm a passionate Software Developer. I specialize in Full-Stack Development. Currently have a Diploma in Software Development seeking to get exposure in the industry. 

I enjoy solving real-world problems with code, and I’m currently focused on improving my backend development skills. I'm passionate about building efficient, scalable systems and learning how to architect robust backend solutions. With a growing interest in technologies like Spring Boot, MongoDB, and Docker, I’ve been working on hands-on projects that challenge me to think critically and write clean, maintainable code. My goal is to become a well-rounded software engineer who can contribute to impactful products. Outside of tech, I enjoy reading, exploring new ideas, and occasionally diving into open-source contributions. 

Even outside of coding, I have a strong appreciation for creativity and design. I enjoy exploring graphic design, architectural concepts, and music production, as they allow me to express ideas visually and audibly in unique and meaningful ways.

I have hands-on experience in full-stack development, with a strong focus on both backend and frontend technologies. On the backend, I work with Java, Spring Boot, MongoDB, and Docker to build robust, scalable APIs and services. On the frontend, I specialize in JavaScript and TypeScript, using modern frameworks like React and Next.js, along with Tailwind CSS, to create responsive, user-friendly interfaces. My work reflects a solid understanding of clean architecture, API integration, and seamless user experiences. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems through well-structured, maintainable code across the entire tech stack.

I am currently pursuing a Diploma in Information Technology, 3 modules before I finish, where I’ve gained foundational and practical knowledge in software development, algorithms, and database systems.
