What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an IT internship where I can apply my software development and systems analysis foundations, grow through real-world problem-solving, and contribute to reliable digital solutions using coding and troubleshooting.

I’m a driven, detail-oriented Computer Engineering graduate from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, with a strong foundational background in software development, systems analysis, process control, and microprocessors. Through my experience as a University Computer Lab Assistant, I’ve built confidence in managing technical environments—maintaining high-availability uptime, troubleshooting hardware deployment problems, and fixing software configuration errors.

I enjoy turning requirements into working solutions, whether that’s designing Java-based logic for an energy optimization system using real-time signals, building a custom 3D game engine framework with raw WebGL pipelines and GLSL shaders, or coding a functional Java security alarm simulation with a focus on reliability and real-time response handling. I’m eager to leverage my coding, problem-solving, and digital technologies through the IT Internship Programme to contribute to real-world projects.
