What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers growth opportunities.

I am a passionate software engineer currently working at Rank Interactive, where I specialize in Flutter mobile development. My role involves project management and DevOps, allowing me to hone my skills in time management and collaboration. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality applications and continuously improving my technical abilities.

Previously, I interned as a Java Developer at redPanda Software, where I gained valuable experience in backend development. I am currently pursuing my Honours in Mathematics at UNISA, which complements my technical skills and enhances my analytical thinking. I thrive in challenging environments and am always eager to learn new technologies.

In addition to my professional experience, I am actively working on projects such as the Multichoice Mobile App, where I utilize Flutter, Firebase, and GitHub Actions. I am also expanding my knowledge in DevOps, focusing on Docker and microservices architecture. My goal is to leverage my skills in a dynamic team that values innovation and growth.
