My Journey
"If you love something enough it will show you its secrets" - George Washington Carver
UI/UX Design
Started with Figma — designing interfaces with the intention to build them myself. This foundation gave me an eye for detail and user-centric thinking.

Static Web Development
Learned the fundamentals — HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Turned my Figma designs into real, functional websites. (NB: I lost the project because I didn't know how to use GitHub)
My First Website
Full-Stack Development
Started learning React.js for dynamic interfaces and leveraged Django for backend. Improved knowledge through course work, hackathons, work and personal projects. Proceeded to learn about other frameworks.
Hackathon Experience
Attended hackathons including Telekom 10X. Learned to build fast, work in teams, and deliver under pressure. This also strengthened my presentation skills and my ability to speak in front of a crowd.
Academic Background
Mountain View High School
North-West University (NWU)
BSc Computer Science
Strong foundation in mathematics, algorithms, and software engineering — the backbone of both development and data science.

I'm not just a developer who writes code — I understand data. From cleaning messy datasets to visualizing insights, I ensure the information powering applications is accurate and meaningful.
Current Proficiency
The Vision
Building web applications that leverage data intelligence — combining solid engineering with smart, data-driven features.

Team Player
University taught me to collaborate across cultures and perspectives.
