I'm a full-stack developer based in South Africa with a background in BSc Computer Science & Informatics. I build web apps, mobile experiences, and AI-powered tools, from polished frontends to robust backends and RAG systems.

Currently gaining hands-on industry experience through an internship while shipping real-world projects across multiple tech stacks.
