TL;DR
I'm Bhekani Khumalo (IPA: /be̞ɣäɳi kxumälo/
). A software
engineer living in London. I am currently a Senior Software Engineer at
Contentful
. I am also building
Dealbase.Africa
, where we collect and share data on deal activity in the African
early stage tech ecosystem. Before now, I worked at
Anaplan ,
Sigma Digital
,
ESRI South Africa
and
RAMM Technologies
. But I haven't always been a software engineer. My professinoal
background is in Civil Engineering. I have a Bachelor's degree in Civil
and Water Engineering and was a Civil Engineer for the first 6 years of my
career. Then I switched to Geographic Information Science and then
Software Engineering.
I write the Just Reflections newsletter and love teaching and helping people become better humans. In my spare time, I love reading, watching Sci-fi and Fantasy films, listening to podcasts and gaming. I love speaking at events, and I have a speaker rider , if you'd like to talk to me about one you're running. I also enjoy speaking on podcasts! Feel free to email me at hello at bhekani dot com with details.
