What I'm looking for

My expertise spans a wide range of technologies, including Swift, Objective-C, and React Native, allowing me to deliver high-quality applications that meet user needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects at various organizations, including Takealot and ABSA Bank, where I played a key role in developing innovative banking features and enhancing user experiences. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievements, such as securing 4th place in the RBB Virtual Hackathon and 3rd place in the Africa Technology Hackathon. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to fostering a positive team culture.
