Lihle Menzeleleli is a Web Developer and the Co-Founder of BabesGotBytes, a non-profit organization that is aimed at teaching and empowering women to code. She is currently completing a Java Oracle Software Development course at Project CodeX in Cape Town, Western Cape.

She is driven by the love of technology and the interesting and challenging that the industry presents. Her interest is in Cybersecurity. The interest comes from her growing understanding of network and software vulnerabilities. During her studies, she is learning about common flaws in application development and network configuration. These flaws are often exploited by attackers resulting in the loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.

She loves attending hackathons! Hackathons provide her the opportunity to collaborate under pressure, learn new skills and share ideas.

Teaching kids how to code is her favorite thing to do in her spare time. She usually volunteers to teach at local schools around Cape Town.
