What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can build web or IoT products that solve community problems, work in Agile teams, and grow technical and leadership skills.

I am a motivated software engineering graduate from the Durban University of Technology with hands-on experience building web, mobile, and IoT solutions for education, agriculture, and community development. I have developed chatbots, e-commerce dashboards, patient management systems, and offline learning platforms using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Java, Firebase, and Raspberry Pi.

I actively apply Agile practices and contribute in hackathons and community programs to solve real-world problems, demonstrating leadership and a user-centered approach. I focus on reliable, high-performing applications and enjoy improving web performance, test-driven development, and end-to-end product delivery.
