👋 Hi, I'm Aphiwe Mzulwini
- I am a BSc Computer Science and Information Technology graduate with a strong background in C++ and experience building interactive systems, debugging software, evaluating AI-generated code, and explaining programming concepts clearly.
- I currently work in a hybrid Game Developer / AI Trainer role, primarily using Cocos2d-x and Godot. My broader experience includes C#, Java, Python, SQL, Unity, OpenGL, Object-Oriented Programming, code review, and structured technical feedback.
🌱 What I Work On
- C++ development, application logic, gameplay systems, UI behaviour, input handling, state management, and debugging
- AI code evaluation, requirement checking, error identification, and feedback on technical outputs
- Python and NLP projects involving text processing and AI-assisted applications
- Java and Object-Oriented Programming, supported by university tutoring experience
👀 Current Focus
- Rebuilding my TextRank summarizer into a reusable Python service and API
- Improving Literature Lab into a clean and documented web-based writing assistant
- Developing stronger skills in backend development, API design, databases, automated testing, and Docker workflows
- Maintaining selected game-development projects as part of my wider software portfolio
💞️ Selected Repositories
- TextRank-based Text Summarizer: An extractive NLP summarization project using text preprocessing, TF-IDF sentence similarity, graph construction, and PageRank-style sentence ranking.
- Literature Lab AI Chatbot: A work-in-progress Python and Django creative-writing assistant focused on user input, response generation, and web-based interaction.
- EspioQuest: A C++ adventure and quiz game featuring question handling, player progression, interactive gameplay flow, and structured application logic.
- Checkers Game: A Java Swing board game demonstrating Object-Oriented Programming, event handling, turn logic, movement validation, and game-state management.

I am open to opportunities in software development, game development, AI code evaluation, and related technical roles. Outside development, I enjoy creative writing and fantasy worldbuilding, particularly where narrative and interactive systems meet.
