Message

At Vodacom Business, I translate business requirements and technical constraints into end-to-end architectural designs across systems, applications, data, and integrations. I focus on scalability, security, performance, and maintainability.

At IoT.nxt, I designed IoT offerings and solutions based on customer requirements, and prepared proposals and responses to RFIs and RFPs. I also developed visualisations for product demonstrations.

At Juwi Group, I managed CPV1 power plant automation and control systems, including automation solutions and a team of automation engineers. Earlier, at VangardProjects, I assisted senior engineers with automation frameworks, testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
