Summary
Mbongeni Mahluza is a full stack developer with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience who bridges media, business administration, and computer science to build data-informed web and mobile applications. Having lived in three countries and pivoted from video marketing to software, he brings strong storytelling and product empathy to technical projects. He cut his teeth at Nielsen automating PR tracking with a Python-based bot that changed internal workflows, then deepened backend and frontend skills through internships and Northeastern's Align MSCS program. As a TA he taught consensus algorithms and led teams, and at Charles River he shipped Spring Boot APIs and Angular features that improved a high-visibility client patch workflow. He focuses on combining machine learning with practical UX to add customer value and is comfortable navigating large codebases and mentoring peers. Notably, his background in media production gives him an uncommon ability to market technical ideas and align stakeholders across cultures.
