I build Java full-stack systems and train future AI competitors.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I've built Java systems ranging from Noctor, an AI-powered clinical document platform using Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Docker, Meta LLaMA 3, and voice commands, to a five-service loadshedding alert platform using REST and Apache ActiveMQ. I also developed a multiplayer robot simulation with a multithreaded TCP server, REST endpoints, SQLite persistence, and 21 test classes.
As Lead AI Trainer for South Africa's International AI Olympiad team, I design Python and machine-learning bootcamps, deliver weekly workshops, and adapt advanced AI tasks for Google Colab. My experience also includes mentoring programmers, leading recruitment ambassadors, supporting production event-management software, and troubleshooting network systems.
