About

Graham Katana

I'm Graham Katana — a Full-Stack Developer and DevOps Engineer based in Johannesburg, South Africa, with 4+ years of professional experience building enterprise-grade systems.

Through Tekbridge, I deliver end-to-end solutions — from React frontends and Python APIs to Kubernetes clusters and full CI/CD pipelines. My work spans enterprise clients across automotive, manufacturing, and financial sectors in South Africa and beyond.

I hold a BCom in Business Information Systems (distinction) and a BSc Honours in Information Technology. I'm currently pursuing an MCom in Business Information Systems at the University of Venda, with research focused on integrating generative AI in software development — examining how AI tools can streamline developer operations across three core pillars: workflow automation, team augmentation, and quality assurance intelligence. I'm an IITPSA member.
