About Me

I am a software developer focused on building practical, real-world systems using full-stack development, automation, and data-driven logic.

I developed strong analytical and software engineering skills during my studies at the University of Cape Town and through hands-on experience at CAPACITI, where I worked on systems support, automation, and AI-driven solutions.

I choose to keep building, learning, and becoming better.
