About Me

I’m a Software Engineering Learner at Standard Bank working in the Platform Engineering space. My day-to-day involves building and supporting CI/CD pipelines, improving developer experience, and helping keep large-scale systems stable across AWS and Azure.

My journey started at North-West University where I studied Information Systems from undergrad through Honours, and now my MCom in Informatics. Along the way, I built multiple full-stack systems for campus use, volunteered extensively, and developed a real interest in automation and reliability engineering.

Outside work, I’m usually coding personal projects, learning new tools, experimenting with design, or watching movies to reset. I’m driven, curious, and I like solving problems that actually make an impact.
