About Me

Profile Photo

I'm a final-year BSc IT student majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of the Free State. I'm passionate about full-stack software development, data science, and problem solving. I enjoy building efficient systems and learning modern tools like FastAPI, Next.js, and machine learning libraries.

Certifications:
  • C# and .NET Essential Training
  • Microsoft Azure – Data Fundamentals

Fun Fact: I think in pseudo-code and sometimes dream in C#!
