Who is behind the glass
I was born on 19 December 2003 in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal — harbour air, Indian Ocean summers, then the long inland pull to Pretoria.
High school was CVO Skool Pretoria. After that, Eduvos Pretoria Campus: a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology majoring in Software Engineering, finished November 2025. I am now on the Honours degree, majoring in Data Science, aiming at November 2026.
The work I care about sits between clean software and systems that hold: C#, Java, databases, web, mobile, Azure, and the security/architecture habits that keep a build from becoming a crime scene. I want to operate as a professional software engineer in rooms where the problems are real.

Kept a demanding floor running while studying full-time — discipline, people, and showing up when the timetable is already full.

Student developer
Eduvos · project studios
Shipped group and solo builds across web, Android, and a DNA-storage simulation — design, code, and the ugly middle where software actually happens.

January 2024 — June 2024
Android Application
Semester group build on native Android — mobile UX, Java, and talking to web services. Practised shipping as a team, not just as a solo compiler.

Jacking in: why this node exists
A personal site should feel like the editor you actually live in — not a beige template with a stock headshot.

Richards Bay → Pretoria
Harbour town, Afrikaans high school, then a software degree in the capital. The map is not complicated. The work is.

The stack I actually use
C# and Java first. Then databases, web, mobile, Azure, and the unglamorous subjects that keep software from rotting.
