Andiswa Ngwenya

I am a junior DevOps professional with a background in computer science and a passion for building scalable, efficient, and reliable systems. My experience spans software development, information systems, RPA (Robotic Process Automation), and SAS development. I bring a solid foundation in programming and process automation, and I'm now expanding my expertise in CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and cloud technologies.

I am eager to contribute to dynamic, tech-driven environments by optimizing workflows, enhancing deployment processes, and driving continuous integration and delivery practices.
