Junior software developer at mLab who helped ship a hotel booking platform and Gemini-powered chatbot.

South Africa
Message

At mLab, I contributed to two team-based applications: a Hotel Booking Website and an AI Chatbot Solution. I helped design, build, and deploy the booking platform with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

Before the booking platform’s final presentation, I diagnosed and resolved a database hosting failure and an authentication bug, restoring booking and login functionality. I also took ownership of Figma UI design and frontend implementation across both projects.

On the AI Chatbot Solution, I contributed to a Gemini-powered chatbot and implemented API key restrictions so its responses stayed focused on internship-related queries. I also authored Business Requirements Specifications and technical documentation for the team.

I designed and built a cross-platform restaurant ordering app with React Native, Expo, and Figma, and independently built and deployed my portfolio website. I’m CodeTribe React-certified and hold a Diploma in Multimedia Computing from Tshwane University of Technology.
