About Me

Who I Am

I'm Uwami Mgxekwa — a Senior Java Developer, IT Lecturer, and the Founder of Brelinx.com. With over 7 years of hands-on industry experience, I've built a career at the intersection of software engineering and education, believing that the best developers are also great teachers.

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, I work with enterprises and startups alike to architect scalable, maintainable systems — primarily in the Java ecosystem. My work spans backend development, cloud infrastructure, database design, and full-stack web applications.

What I Do

As a Senior Java Developer, I specialize in Spring Boot microservices, RESTful API design, and cloud-native architectures on platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I've delivered production systems for clients across finance, education, and logistics sectors.

As an IT Lecturer, I teach programming fundamentals, object-oriented design, data structures, and software engineering principles. I'm passionate about making complex concepts accessible and inspiring the next generation of South African engineers.

As the Founder of Brelinx.com, I lead a team delivering custom software development, IT consulting, and digital transformation services to businesses across South Africa.
