About

I am a results-driven BSc IT Graduate from North-West University with hands-on experience in full-stack web application development using Python, JavaScript and modern frameworks. During my role as a Junior Developer at Tecwise, I actively contributed to the development and maintenance of a multi-tenant dealer portal built on the Frappe framework, gaining valuable experience in backend logic, UI refinement and collaborative Agile software development.

I am passionate about designing and building efficient, scalable and user-centered applications that deliver real-world impact. I take pride in crafting software that is both technically sound and intuitively designed.

With a solid foundation in full-stack principles and a growing interest in cloud-native and automation technologies, I am eager to contribute to a forward-thinking development team. My goal is to continue expanding my technical depth while creating innovative digital solutions that help shape South Africa's evolving tech landscape.
