I’m Manti Mokone, a sophomore at St. Lawrence University with a strong passion for technology, software engineering, and offensive security. I was born in Lesotho, and my journey has taken me from studying the International Baccalaureate in Tanzania to continuing my education in the United States. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong foundation in backend development with Python and JavaScript, building projects with FastAPI, Django, Next.js, and PostgreSQL. I love tackling complex technical problems and experimenting with projects ranging from AI-powered applications to scalable web platforms.
Beyond my academic and software engineering work, I’m deeply passionate about cybersecurity. I enjoy exploring offensive security concepts and competing in Capture the Flag (CTF) games, where I get to sharpen my problem-solving skills in real-world security scenarios. I’m also into digital entrepreneurship, building online income streams. My goal is to grow into a well-rounded engineer, contribute to high-impact teams in big tech or fast-moving startups, and keep pushing the boundaries of both security and innovation.
