About

I am a final-year Computer Science student at the Tshwane University of Technology with a strong foundation in full-stack development and Java backend engineering.

My technical journey is driven by a passion for building efficient, maintainable systems that have a tangible impact. From designing PostgreSQL schemas with row-level security to implementing OOP principles in Java, I approach every project with an engineering mindset.
