Message

At RedMProfessionalServices, I work as a Junior Platform Engineer, contracted to Standard Bank. I administer DB2 databases and author and execute complex SQL on live databases.

I’ve contributed to maintaining the E3 frontend system (Siebel) and served on the Siebel support team, providing company-wide user assistance. I also use SAP and Creditlens to validate and manage client information.

Before this, I completed the IT Graduate programme at RedMProfessionalServices, working with Oracle Database Administration (Postgres) and software development using Python, JavaScript, HTML, and SQL. I collaborated on graduate web and mobile application projects and gained experience with Linux and Unix server management and virtual machine hosting.

I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology – Honours at Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology. My certifications include Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM watsonx, and Microsoft modules, and I’m interested in technology areas including AI and automation.
