About

I’m Lehlohonolo Wessie, a co-founder and CTO at Lehro Solutions where I lead the technical direction for business systems, AI-enabled workflows, and API-first web and mobile products. I enjoy building reliable backend services and integrations, shaping product architecture end to end, and translating product strategy and UX into working software.

Alongside my engineering work, I’m also a creative technologist who brings UI/UX thinking into development—building interactive experiences and desktop tools (including local-first Electron apps) and exploring LLM workflows and MCP-based integrations. My goal is to deliver software that’s useful in real business operations while staying developer-friendly, secure, and scalable.
