What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in legal tech that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa with over 10 years of diverse experience across the legal, finance, property development, and AI industries. My current role as an AI Trainer at Outlier involves developing and optimizing prompts, reviewing responses, and analyzing data to enhance Large Language Model performance. I have a strong background in commercial law, criminal and civil litigation, E-discovery, and regulatory compliance, which allows me to navigate complex legal landscapes effectively.

Previously, I served as Managing Director at Schatel (Pty) Ltd, where I led a property development company, managed legal operations, and negotiated contracts. My experience as a Financial Planner at Liberty Group further honed my skills in risk management and estate planning. I am passionate about Cyber Law and have a proven track record of generating leads and managing sales independently, leveraging tools like Salesforce and SQL for data analysis.

With a solid educational foundation, including a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and a Master of Laws (LLM) in International Human Rights Protection, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am currently pursuing a postgraduate certificate in Investigating and Prosecuting International Crimes, which complements my legal expertise and enhances my ability to contribute effectively in the legal tech space.
