Buhlebethu Mkhonta
I'm a multifaceted tech professional with expertise in drone operations and IT infrastructure Web Development and Stage Lighting design. As one of the pioneers behind Eswatini's first medical drone network, I've combined my passion for aerial technology with practical applications that save lives.
Currently pursuing my Masters in AI, I'm constantly exploring the intersection of emerging technologies. When I'm not troubleshooting networks or piloting drones, you might find me skateboarding or enjoying rock and metal music, activities that inspire my creative approach to technical challenges.
