What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my skills in data engineering and analytics while fostering my growth in AI and machine learning.

I am a dedicated and high-achieving BSc Honors in Computer Science student at the University of Johannesburg, where I have been recognized for my academic excellence, ranking among the Top 10 students in the Academy of Computer Science and Software Engineering in 2022. My passion lies in Data Engineering and Science, and I am committed to leveraging machine learning and deep learning algorithms to solve real-world problems.

My honors year research project focuses on improving Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques for brain tumor detection, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges. I am eager to demonstrate my exposure to data-driven solutions while further advancing my knowledge of AI and analytics in a professional setting.
