Devconf 2026

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AFTER DEVCONF; 2026

Whether you caught one of our peoples talks, chatted to the team at our stand at the Johannesburg event, or just scanned a random QR code out of curiosity, welcome.

Hopefully your day included many great talks, at least one strong coffee, and only a mildly concerning number of “I should really learn that” moments.

Below, you’ll find a little more about our speakers, the crew who were manning the Johannesburg stand, and who we are at Entelect.

This is Vel and Sas, the two legends you may have spotted manning our stand at DevConf Johannesburg.

Sorry Cape Town, they didn’t unlock that expansion pack this year.

Sas is a Tech Lead who’s heavily involved in our Graduate Bootcamp programme, helping shape and mentor the next generation of developers at Entelect. He’s also massively into sim racing, so if you overheard someone debating racing lines or force feedback settings nearby, it was probably him.

Vel has probably interviewed more developers applying to Entelect than just about anyone else in the company and is a huge F1 fan, so there’s a good chance conversations drifted somewhere between software engineering, career growth, and trying to understand Ferrari strategy decisions.

Hopefully you got the chance to chat to them about your passion projects, gaming, software engineering, career growth, or whatever rabbit hole your brain is currently exploring. If not, it’s not too late. There’s a form lower down on this page where you can still send your questions their way.

WHO ARE WE YOU ASK?

We’re a global software engineering consultancy that builds technology for banks, insurers, retailers, fintechs, mining companies, telecoms providers, and other large organisations across South Africa and beyond. From modern digital platforms to complex business systems, we solve real problems at scale. The technology we build helps large organisations operate better, impacts millions of people, and solves problems that genuinely matter.

We’ve been doing this for over 25 years and are now more than 2,000 people strong across the globe.

AND WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

At Entelect, we don’t just hire talented people and leave them to figure things out on their own. Growth is a massive part of how we work. From mentorship and community driven learning to exposure to complex projects, different industries, and experienced technical leaders, we create environments where people can continuously improve their craft.

You’ll work alongside some of the sharpest minds in the industry, people who care deeply about quality, enjoy solving difficult problems together, and still get excited about elegant code, clever architecture, and debating tabs versus spaces.
