Sabelo Simelane, Founder & Principal Engineer

"You'll talk to me, not an account manager."

I started Ligabazi after sixteen years of building software inside banks, startups, and everything in between. Every project here gets founder-level attention — because the person you scope with is the person writing and deploying your code.
