About Me

Hi, I'm Rorisang 👩🏽‍💻
I'm a Software Developer with 3+ years of experience working in both startup and enterprise environments. I’ve contributed to full-stack web and mobile apps, fixed critical system issues, and played a key role in award-winning solutions. I’ve built with tools like Flutter, Firebase, Node.js, SQL, and Power Platform. I enjoy solving real-world problems through clean code, automation, and smart UI experiences.

I started my career at a fast-paced startup (TopCode), where I was trusted with full responsibility across both frontend and backend projects. It shaped how I learn fast, work independently, and adapt quickly. I’m now looking for my next opportunity where I can grow the same way while contributing meaningfully to a team.
Why I Value Startup Experience
At TopCode, a fast-paced startup, I was often thrown into real-world client projects with full responsibility, from mobile apps to WordPress sites. I built and deployed production apps, troubleshot issues others couldn’t solve, and delivered entire websites end-to-end. That startup environment shaped my ability to work independently, learn fast, and ship real value under pressure something I’m now looking to expand in new, growth-focused roles.

Deep Dive

Cordova FileTransfer Build Rescue

Multiple Cordova FileTransfer plugin files were failing with “cannot find symbol Whitelist” errors. I researched upstream API changes and applied a fix within our project to resolve the issue. I then created and published a YouTube tutorial to help other developers facing the same problem.
