ABOUT

I'm Cwaita Nobongoza, a multidisciplinary professional with a strong foundation in software engineering and data science, complemented by extensive experience in hospitality management, telecommunications, and legal studies. I’m a software engineer and currently advancing my skills in data science, with a growing focus on data analysis, visualization, and insight-driven decision-making. My technical experience includes building scalable backend systems, API integrations, database optimization, and applying clean, maintainable coding practices. Before transitioning fully into tech, I spent over a decade in hospitality leadership roles, gaining deep operational insight, people management skills, and a strong customer-centric mindset. My background as a telecommunications technician strengthened my problem-solving abilities, while my legal studies enhanced my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and compliance awareness. I thrive at the intersection of technology, data, and operations, and I’m passionate about building solutions that are practical, scalable, and human-centered. I’m always open to connecting with professionals, teams, and organizations working on innovative and impactful projects.
