About Me

Hi, I'm Themba "Raphael" Mahlangu. As an enthusiastic and dedicated technology enthusiast, I have spent the past 6 years immersed in the world of programming. Fuelled by my passion for all things tech, I am constantly exploring new ideas and technologies, pushing myself to learn and grow every day.

My expertise spans both traditional software development and game development. I've made significant contributions to the gaming community through my work on FiveM Game Servers and participation in the Helix Alpha Program. You can find my gaming development work and custom scripts on my Tebex store, where I provide high-quality solutions for game server environments.

I have been able to make significant progress by prioritizing consistent documentation and regular project-building. With every project I undertake, whether it's a web application or a game server script, I strive to bring my clients' vision to life by crafting stunning, intuitive solutions that deliver exceptional user experiences.

My ultimate goal is to create innovative digital solutions that have a meaningful impact on people's lives, while contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of technology and gaming. I firmly believe that through my work, I can help to drive positive change and improve the world around us, both in traditional software spaces and gaming communities.
