My name is Paballo Mphahlele, and I am currently based in Pretoria, though I originally hail from Lebowakgomo, a small township in Limpopo. I completed my matric in 2015 at S.J. van der Merwe High School. In 2016, I enrolled at the University of Johannesburg to pursue a degree in Computer Science and Informatics. In 2020, I transferred to the University of Limpopo to further my studies in Computer Science and Mathematics, successfully graduating in 2024.
Work Experience
*Before completing my degree, I participated in MTN's undergraduate vacation program, where I gained foundational knowledge in software development and mobile application development. In late 2024, I secured a 12-month contract with Intelleto, where I am currently employed. My role focuses on software development and technology support, allowing me to apply my skills in practical and impactful ways.
Why Degree in Computer Science
The IT industry is vast, dynamic, and constantly evolving to meet the demands of automation and innovation. I was drawn to this field because of my passion for problem-solving, creativity, and adaptable thinking. A degree in Mathematical Sciences enables me to continuously learn and grow while contributing to meaningful technological advancements.
Internship
I learned about the internship opportunity at Intelleto through a friend who had previously interned there. She shared the application email with me, and I promptly submitted my application. After a successful interview, I was fortunate to be selected for the position.
Company
I am currently employed at WGH under Intelleto, and the experience has been highly rewarding. The company assigns valuable projects that foster professional growth and provide meaningful work. The work environment is supportive, collaborative, and welcoming, with colleagues who are always ready to assist when needed.
