• IDEALIST * SWIMS * CLIMBER * CONSITANCY *

I embarked on my software engineering career in 2013 with a strong focus on driving standardisation, efficiency, and availability in the projects I undertake. My primary objective is to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time to concentrate on enhancing team performance. I find great satisfaction in investigating new and intriguing problems as it allows me to continually refine processes and expand my knowledge. I am eager to find an environment that fosters my professional growth and offers ample opportunities to further my career.

About Me

I am currently based in Cape Town, South Africa. I enjoy living an active, healthy, and social lifestyle while being outdoors as much as possible. My main activities include indoor and outdoor climbing, early morning swims, camping, and multiple-day hikes. If I’m not outdoors, you can find me in the kitchen or behind the braai surrounded by my friends and family.
