What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and offers growth opportunities.

I am an experienced IT Engineer with a strong background in software development, committed to delivering solutions that exceed expectations. My expertise lies in managing IT infrastructure, ensuring system security, and optimizing performance. I am skilled in developing and deploying software applications that enhance operational efficiency, and I thrive on troubleshooting and resolving technical issues to maintain robust IT environments.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in IT management and software development. As an IT Manager at Dr. AAK Seedat Practice, I managed and maintained the IT infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance and providing technical support. My role as a Software Developer at Jes Foord Foundation involved designing and developing a mobile application using Android Studio in Java, where I collaborated with my team to deliver a polished product that met client requirements.

Currently, I manage the IT infrastructure at Recharger Prepaid Meters, overseeing everything from staff computers to IT security measures. My passion for innovation drives me to continuously seek out new technologies and solutions that can enhance operational efficiency and deliver top-tier results in every project I undertake.
