About

Building things
that matter.

I'm a Junior Developer based in Johannesburg with a National Diploma in Information Technology (NQF Level 6) and real-world experience spanning both software development and enterprise IT infrastructure.

What sets me apart? I've actually worked inside large-scale IT environments at Sun International — managing Windows Servers, Active Directory, and network infrastructure for a hotel and casino. Most junior devs have never seen a production system up close. I have.

I build apps that solve real problems: a sobriety tracker to help people in recovery, and a community marketplace to make education more affordable. Code with purpose.
