What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my skills in software development and teaching to make a meaningful impact.

With over 5 years of experience as an IT engineer and lecturer, I have honed my skills in software development, graphic design, and teaching. My journey began with a Higher National Diploma in Information and Communication Technology, followed by a Bachelor of Technology in Software Engineering. I have successfully built websites and applications for various clients, leveraging my expertise in programming languages such as C#, C++, and PHP.

As a freelance web developer and graphic designer, I have created user-friendly websites and engaging graphics for SMEs and educational institutions. My role as a lecturer has allowed me to share my knowledge in Engineering and Business Mathematics, fostering an interactive learning environment for my students. I am passionate about technology and dedicated to continuous learning, always seeking to improve my skills and contribute to innovative projects.
