What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote role in tech where I can apply and grow my AI and data skills.

At TAK Group SA, I manage fleet operations and use fleet data to optimize scheduling, reduce fuel costs, and extend vehicle lifespans. I’ve also implemented digital tracking and reporting systems to improve operational efficiency and data visibility.

Previously, as a Fleet Officer at Botlokwa Holdings, I managed vehicle scheduling, tracking, safety inspections, and maintenance coordination. At Cusquisition (Pty) Ltd, I managed fleet operations for a start-up entering the fleet industry, establishing processes and controls.

I’m now specializing in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, with Cisco-accredited AI and data science certifications and an AI Engineering Bootcamp in progress at Zaio Institute of Technology. I’m building my skills through coursework and personal projects, including work shared on GitHub.
