Simphiwe Zulu

I’m more than just a programmer with a not-so-pro grammar—I’m a problem solver with a growth mindset, passionate about delivering meaningful and impactful work. My expertise spans software development, AI-driven automation, web development, graphic design, and content writing. I thrive on tackling complex challenges, learning new technologies, and crafting efficient, scalable solutions.

With a strong foundation in Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Liquibase, and SQL, I have experience developing and maintaining enterprise-level applications that require high performance, reliability, and scalability. While working at Psybergate, I contributed to a bank reconciliation system, where I debugged complex issues, optimized system performance, and wrote comprehensive unit tests with JUnit and Mockito.

Beyond backend development, I have experience with AngularJS, NextJS, RESTful APIs and Docker. My ability to adapt quickly was demonstrated when I successfully built a front-end system using NextJS without prior experience, showcasing my capacity to learn new frameworks efficiently.

I actively integrate AI into my workflows to enhance productivity and optimize processes. By using ChatGPT’s custom instructions, I refine AI-generated responses for better clarity and efficiency. This knowledge has allowed me to develop AI-driven automation solutions, making workflows smoother and more effective.

As a Game Developer, I worked with Godot Engine, creating gameplay mechanics and UI elements while also managing project workflows using GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and Trello. I took on a Scrum Master role, organizing sprints and ensuring smooth collaboration among team members. My ability to merge technical expertise with project management allows me to efficiently oversee development cycles and maintain high-quality standards.

My technical background is complemented by creative skills in graphic design, UI/UX design, beat making, and content writing. I have crafted pitch deck presentations, designed UI elements, and contributed to digital marketing efforts, bringing a well-rounded perspective to any project.

I am eager to collaborate on software projects, AI-driven solutions, game development, or content creation. Whether you need a high-performance backend system, AI automation, or technical writing expertise, I bring adaptability, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to excellence to every project. Let’s connect and build something impactful!
