About

I'm Sakhile Bhayi, a mine control systems engineer and full stack developer turned founder, and I'm South African. I work on one problem: getting a business's scattered information into one picture of how it is running, built from facts its people can trace and current enough to act on.

Where I learned the problem

I've worked in mining operations since 2019. I started in site technology at Glencore, and since 2023 I've worked in mine control systems engineering with Modular Mining, a Komatsu company, at Anglo American operations. That means fleet-management, machine-health and guidance systems, and the telematics, GPS and payload data they run on. Before that, from 2014 to 2018, I was a technical solutions architect at Pure Systems Group, on data platforms, network security and infrastructure.

Control rooms deal with the same data captured several times, reports that disagree, and nobody sure which number is true.

Why I build

A growing business has the same problem in a different form: a sales system, an accounting package, spreadsheets and message groups, each holding a slice of the truth. The cost shows up as hours spent reconciling, as arguments over which figure to trust, and as decisions made late on numbers that were already out of date.

I kept seeing the joined-up systems large operations pay for, and growing businesses doing without them. I build so they don't have to.

What I've built

I built my first file-management system in 2021. Most of the Dot.Eco-system, a connected set of InfoDot micro platforms, I built in 2026: recurring reports from shared templates, fleet operations software, shift control rooms, and a monitoring loop that recommends fixes for a person to approve.

Every platform, and how far each has got

The work is closer to architecture than to coding. I decide how operational data, identity, memory and decisions connect across systems, and I build with an AI-assisted workflow. How I keep that under control is on the Approach page.

Where I'm going

I want a first growing business to work with. We map how its information breaks, agree a baseline, connect what matters and measure the change. When an engagement has a measured result, I'll publish it with the client's permission.

After that comes a repeatable way of doing it on the Dot.Eco-system, and in time InfoDot, which exists to help people start, operate, manage and grow successful businesses.

Career

Technology since 2014, and mining operations since 2019.

  1. Modular Mining, a Komatsu company, at Anglo American operations

    2023–now

    Mine control systems engineering

    Fleet-management, machine-health and guidance systems, and the telematics, GPS and payload data they run on.

  2. Dot.Eco-system

    2021–now

    Founder

    The platforms I designed and built. The first piece began as a file-management side project in 2021; most of the platforms were built in 2026.

  3. Glencore South Africa

    2019–2021

    Site technician

    Site technology inside active mining operations. That is where I first saw how operational data breaks.

  4. Pure Systems Group

    2014–2018

    Technical solutions architect

    Technology solutions architecture: data platforms, network security and infrastructure.

Sakhile Bhayi is a South African mine control systems engineer and full stack developer turned founder. He builds systems that connect a business's scattered information, so the people running it can trust what they see and act on it in time.

He learned the problem in mining operations: in site technology at Glencore, and since 2023 in mine control systems engineering with Modular Mining, a Komatsu company, at Anglo American operations. Before that he was a technical solutions architect at Pure Systems Group.

Control rooms deal with the same data captured several times, reports that disagree, and nobody sure which number is true. Most growing businesses have the same problem in a different form, spread across a sales system, an accounting package, spreadsheets and message groups. He builds so they get the joined-up systems that large operations pay for.

He built his first file-management system in 2021, and designed and built most of the Dot.Eco-system, a connected set of business platforms, in 2026 by architecting the systems and building them with AI-assisted tooling. It includes structured reporting, signed hand-offs between the platforms, a monitoring loop that recommends fixes for a person to approve, and operations software for mining fleets and control rooms.

His focus now is growing, operations-heavy businesses with disconnected systems and manual reporting. He also offers technology and product strategy to founders, and help with practical AI adoption to organisations.

I'm also glad to hear from founders building a product, from organisations putting AI to work, and from investors and partners.
