At the University of Johannesburg, I supported ITS, U-Link, and Web Registration, troubleshooting access and data issues for students and staff. I also validated and audited structured datasets and worked with IT teams to resolve system discrepancies.

As a Junior Software Engineer at Visual Graphic, I developed web applications and prototypes using React.js and JavaScript, and built Node.js services and RESTful APIs backed by MySQL. My work has also included Windows and Linux desktop support, Java and Python tutoring, and cybersecurity training.
