Simba Mahlaulo

Front-End Developer

I build seamless, user-first applications and web experiences that bridge the gap between tech and people.

About

I began my journey in web development by creating websites for Uncommon.org. This experience significantly boosted my confidence and technical skills, eventually leading me to explore mobile app development using Flutter. My first mobile app was developed for La Intelligence Pvt Ltd, marking a pivotal moment in my career. Since then, I have completed various projects on Upwork, building a total of 6 mobile apps and 11 Websites and 5 Webapps.

Currently, I am delving deep into the realms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to integrate these advanced technologies into my applications. This ongoing education will allow me to enhance the functionality and user experience of my future projects.

When I'm not working on development projects, I enjoy gaming, engaging in adrenaline-pumping activities, or working on various topics which I share on my blog page.
