About
After dedicating more than 12 years to writing software, I've developed a profound appreciation for the art of good software. It goes beyond mere lines of code; to me, it represents the most valuable creation that can be obtained or utilized today. I hold a National Diploma in Information Technology from the University Of South Africa (UNISA) and have a strong belief in the power of continuous learning. I consider myself an avid learner, always eager to share knowledge with my team members. In my view, a developer should embody a perpetual learner, and I find immense joy in the process of continuous improvement. My meticulous nature and honed analytical skills enable me to pay meticulous attention to detail and effectively solve complex problems. Throughout my career, I've successfully tackled numerous challenges, but I'm eager to take on more as each problem solved contributes to a better world. As a software engineer, I believe in the responsibility to leverage our skills to effect positive change through problem-solving. I possess a comprehensive understanding of both backend and frontend challenges, qualifying me as a proficient Full Stack developer. Additionally, I have hands-on experience in Linux and AWS server administration. My work ethic reflects the value I place on producing clean and organized code, and I excel both in team collaborations and individual projects.
