What I'm looking for

I'm building toward a career in cybersecurity, with interests in network security and information security.

At North-West University, I support students in C++ lab sessions by helping them debug code and understand core programming concepts without solving problems for them. I also mark tests and practical assessments against prescribed rubrics.

For a team business intelligence project, I built a structured MongoDB data repository and contributed to analysis, visualisation, and dashboard development. I'm building toward a career in cybersecurity, with interests in network security and information security.
