Junior Power Platform developer building reliable production apps for precision agriculture and farm operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a Junior Developer with a BCom Honours degree in Information Systems and hands-on experience building business applications using Microsoft Power Platform technologies. Currently, I work at Agrilytics, where I develop and maintain Power Apps solutions, design Dataverse databases, create automated workflows with Power Automate, and build dashboards that help improve business operations in the agriculture sector.
My technical skills include Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power Fx, C# (ASP.NET MVC), SQL Server, database management, web application development, systems analysis and design, business analysis, IT audit, and cybersecurity fundamentals. I have experience gathering requirements from stakeholders, translating business needs into technical solutions, troubleshooting application issues, and delivering projects from development through deployment.
In addition to software development, I completed the Absa Inkanyezi IT Audit & Cyber Security Academy, where I gained knowledge in IT controls, cybersecurity, risk management, data analysis, project auditing, and business continuity management. This has given me a strong understanding of both technology development and governance.
Before becoming a developer, I worked as a Learning Facilitator at the University of Fort Hare, supporting and mentoring students in Information Systems. This role strengthened my communication, leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities.
I am passionate about software development, cybersecurity, digital transformation, process automation, enterprise systems, data management, and emerging technologies. I enjoy learning new technologies, solving business challenges, and building solutions that create real value for users and organizations.
Some of my key achievements include earning a BCom Honours in Information Systems, completing the Absa Inkanyezi IT Audit & Cyber Security Academy, developing business applications used in production environments, and gaining professional experience in both software development and information systems.
I am currently seeking opportunities in Software Development, Power Platform Development, Information Systems, Business Analysis, IT Audit, Cyber Security, Technology Consulting, and other technology-focused roles where I can continue to grow professionally and contribute to meaningful projects.
