I am Brian Sokhela. Through Lumosoft, I bridge the gap between complex problems and elegant code. I build scalable backends, automate critical workflows, and engineer digital resilience.
Current Focus
Scaling Lumosoft &
Enterprise Automation
I'm a recent BSc in Computer Science & Informatics graduate from the University of Johannesburg, passionate about creating innovative solutions to complex problems. My journey in technology began with a curiosity about how things work, which has evolved into a drive to build systems that make a positive impact.
I'm passionate about problem-solving, automation, and architecture—whether it's crafting backend APIs, developing dashboards, or optimizing systems for performance. Every project I touch has one standard: excellence.
My approach to software development is rooted in problem-solving, attention to detail, and continuous learning. I believe that great code is not just about functionality, but also about maintainability, security, and user experience.
Beyond development, I've contributed 650+ volunteer hours in community service and technical education—including leading tutoring programs in Mathematics and Physics, ranking 8th university-wide for community engagement at UJ.
