Thabang Gideon Magaola

I am a results-driven Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 7 years of professional experience designing, building, and scaling production web and mobile applications. Deeply specialized in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, my core technical expertise spans React, Next.js, Node.js (NestJS/Express), GraphQL, and PostgreSQL. Throughout my career, I have focused on translating complex business requirements into high-performance digital products, contributing heavily to both clean frontend architecture and robust backend systems. Key Professional Achievements: • Backend Architecture & Scalability: Co-architected mission-critical platforms utilizing Node.js, GraphQL (Apollo Server), and normalized PostgreSQL schemas with strategic indexing, ensuring database resilience capable of supporting up to 10,000 concurrent users during peak operational windows. • Process Automation & Efficiency: Engineered automated data integration and web scraping pipelines using Node.js and Puppeteer that directly reduced manual administrative workflows and overhead by 80%. • Cloud Integration & Data Integrity: Eliminated critical transaction race conditions and duplicate actions for a financial mobile application by designing a fault-tolerant backend workflow using AWS Step Functions, Node.js, and DynamoDB. • Leadership & Agile Delivery: As a Certified Scrum Master (CSM), I have facilitated Agile sprints and provided technical mentorship and code reviews to over 100 developers, fostering cultures of continuous improvement and robust testing frameworks. What I Am Looking For: I am seeking a fully remote Full-Stack or Backend Software Engineering role within an innovative engineering team. I thrive in environments that value clean architecture, automated testing, scalable system design, and collaborative problem-solving. Ready to contribute senior-level technical execution and immediate value to global product delivery.
