01 — About

Building with purpose,
learning with hunger.

I'm Liberty Engetelo Chauke, a Computer Science Diploma student at Tshwane University of Technology (completing July 2026). My journey began in Contact Centre Management — which gave me a rare edge: I understand people before I write a single line of code.

I write clean, maintainable code and care deeply about the user experience. My work spans full-stack web development, database design, and mobile computing — with real experience in Java EE, PostgreSQL, PHP, and modern JavaScript.

I speak English (fluent), Xitsonga (native), Sepedi and isiZulu. Remote-ready with reliable internet and a dedicated workspace.
