My Story

Building tools
for the real world.

I'm Gontse Sebolai, a developer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I enjoy building software that is useful, reliable, and easy for people to actually use.

I recently finished my degree in Computer and Information Sciences, and since then I've been working on everything from payment systems to mobile apps. I run Dev404 Labs, my small consultancy where I help businesses and organisations bring their digital ideas to life.
