What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and impactful projects in tech and community development.

I am a systems-obsessed entrepreneur who believes in the power of unyielding passion and dedication. As the co-founder of Tellar Technologies, I have driven the company from concept to operational startup within a year, positioning it to deliver R7 billion in public sector projects. My journey began at the University of Cape Town, where I pursued a Bachelor of Business Science in Finance before dropping out to focus on building impactful ventures. I also founded Zuri Kitchen, an educational meal prep initiative aimed at teaching children about nutrition and healthy eating.

My experience spans strategic planning, operational management, and stakeholder engagement, allowing me to secure partnerships with global tech manufacturers and engage with key public sector stakeholders. I thrive on building teams and fostering collaboration, ensuring that we not only meet our goals but also contribute positively to our communities. I am deeply committed to altruism through execution, believing that real change comes from actionable steps and meaningful projects.
