I was born on 19 December 2003 in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal. That is the origin pin: a harbour city on the Indian Ocean, humidity, and a name people outside KZN still mispronounce.
The rest of the story is Pretoria. High school at CVO Skool Pretoria — which is why the terminal on this site still says Goeiedag, Meneer before it says anything clever. Then Eduvos Pretoria Campus for a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, majoring in Software Engineering. That degree closed in November 2025.
The current chapter is Honours, Data Science, same campus, aimed at November 2026. Azure fundamentals (AZ-900) sits in the bag. The languages at home are Afrikaans and English. The work languages are C#, Java, SQL, and the web stack.
I do not need a myth. I need a trail: coast → capital → compiler → whatever comes after the honours year.
