Senior🎓
Top SchoolQuentin Watt is a senior front-end and full-stack engineer based in Cape Town with nine years of professional experience and a decade-plus passion for software that began at 16. He’s built and scaled consumer-facing web platforms—including major classifieds sites across Africa and a short-term rental product for Travelstart—while specializing in React, Vue/Nuxt, Laravel and TypeScript. Outside of product work he’s a prolific educator: since 2012 he’s grown a YouTube channel to 160k subscribers sharing tutorials on React, Laravel and front-end fundamentals. Quentin combines hands-on engineering with an instinct for UX and scalability, and he also founded Qcasts.com to extend his educational reach. An avid runner and food lover, he brings the same curiosity and endurance to engineering challenges as to trail runs and wine tastings.
