TL;DR
Hi, I’m Thwani Sithole — a software developer and DevOps engineer based in Durban, South Africa. I write about Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud infrastructure, and the server-side technologies that keep the modern web running.
About
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and an Honours degree in Computer Science from the University of the Witwatersrand.
Today, I work as a DevOps and Platform Engineer, specialising in the BACK stack — Backstage, ArgoCD, Crossplane, and Kyverno. My focus is on building internal developer platforms and scalable cloud-native infrastructure that gets out of developers’ way.
I started my career as an API developer, spending over five years in the .NET/C# ecosystem before pivoting into the Linux and cloud-native world.
This blog is where I document what I’m learning, building, and occasionally breaking.
Current Tech Stack
- OS & Containers: Linux · Docker · Kubernetes
- Platform Engineering: Backstage · ArgoCD · Crossplane · Kyverno
- Languages: Go
Get in Touch
I’m always open to conversations about platform engineering, cloud-native tooling, or the Linux ecosystem.
