Christiaan Botha·BSc IT Software Engineering · 3rd year · Eduvos
Software that ships, end to end.
Third-year software engineering student and CTO at Clidash. I lead teams, build web and mobile products, and run the infrastructure behind them.
Selected work
Things I've shipped.
How I work: lead, design, build, deploy, and keep it running.
Home lab
My own infrastructure, on purpose.
Everything I ship runs on a server somewhere. Running my own rack is how I learned what that actually means.
Home Lab
A two-node Proxmox lab on rack-mount hardware, reachable only over Tailscale, with an M4 Mac mini as the gateway to everything.

I'm a third-year BSc IT Software Engineering student at Eduvos, based in South Africa, and CTO at Clidash, a CRM for financial advisors. I like owning a product from the first sketch to the server it runs on: designing the interface, building the app, wiring up the pipeline, and keeping it running.
Most of my work sits where a good interface meets real constraints: slow rural connections, non-technical clients, small teams on a deadline, a sensor on a fence post with no Wi-Fi. I care about the details people feel but don't notice, like load times, spacing, and a publish button that just works.
