About Me

Open to work

Junior Software Engineer with 2+ years of industry experience across three organisations — from a 12-month WIL placement building production APIs, to a software developer trainee role at mLab CodeTribe Academy, to a Software Engineering Internship at Data Science Academy. I also served as an Academic Tutor mentoring 40+ students in Java and algorithms at TUT.

I actively integrate AI into the software I build to automate workflows and create smarter systems. My target domain is FinTech and e-commerce — I want to build engineering that directly impacts people's financial lives. Based in Gauteng, South Africa. Always learning, always shipping.
