Product Lead and Lead Developer, Mosebetsi
I build products people actually use.
Software first, then data science, now both together. I ship production software end to end, and I am moving toward AI-integrated product work and platform engineering.
Things I have shipped
- 01
Mosebetsi
A two-sided task marketplace for South Africa. I designed and built the platform end to end across 39+ development phases. It is live on iOS and on the web at mosebetsi.co.za, with Android coming soon.
- React Native (Expo)
- React
- TypeScript
- Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Storage)
- Node.js
2025 to nowLive on iOS - 02
Mo'Websites
The studio, live at mowebsites.co.za and taking work. I build web and light systems for South African small businesses: sites wired to their own analytics from day one, booking and payment flows that actually complete, and small internal tools and dashboards. Not brochure sites.
- React
- Tailwind
- Looker Studio
- Netlify
- Firebase Hosting
2025 to nowLive, taking work - 03
Citrus Aura
A live e-commerce store for a South African wellness brand. It carries a full product catalogue with an individual page per product, organised into categories, plus a working cart and checkout priced in Rands.
- React
- Next.js
- Tailwind
- Netlify
2025Live for a client - 04
Mosia Farms
A full business site for a family agricultural business, plus the measurement system behind it. A live Looker Studio performance dashboard runs on real traffic, and every promoter has their own referral link, so the business can see who drove which traffic and what came of it.
- React
- Tailwind
- Google Analytics 4
- Looker Studio
- Netlify
2025 to nowLive with analytics - 05
Data Science Projects
Where this started. Four academic projects from the Eduvos BSc: a Twitter/X bot-detection classifier, a customer churn model, an R Shiny graduate-employment dashboard, and the 2025 10Alytics Global Data Hackathon sovereign-debt submission.
- Python
- Pandas
- scikit-learn
- R
- R Shiny
2024 to 2025Academic, Eduvos BSc
Who is behind this
I am Mokhachane Moshoeshoe, a software engineer and product builder.
I did not set out to become a product engineer.
I started with a Diploma in Software Development at Central University of Technology, then completed a BSc in Data Science at Eduvos. Most of that time went into building models and dashboards, but the part I kept coming back to was never the model. It was everything around it: where the data came from, how it moved through the system, and whether the system producing it could be trusted.
So I learned to build the system instead.
Today I am the Product Lead and Lead Developer behind Mosebetsi, a task marketplace live in South Africa on iOS and web. I designed and built the platform end to end across more than 39 development phases: authentication, payments and identity verification, then role-based access, real-time task management, notifications, and the dashboards that tie it all together.
That is the work I enjoy most. Not building isolated features, but understanding how a whole product fits together: the frontend, the backend, the database, the infrastructure, the APIs, the edge cases, and what happens at two in the morning when something breaks and real people are relying on it.
That is what keeps pulling me toward platform engineering and AI-powered products. To me, they are the same challenge: build reliable systems, understand the data moving through them, and solve problems people actually have.
