About me
I am a cloud-focused Software Engineer and final-year Software Engineering student at
WeThinkCode_ (NQF 6, Cape Town), with a Computer Science background from the University
of Cape Town. Over roughly six years I have built and maintained production web
platforms — most recently as a Full Stack Developer at Z15 Solutions, where I engineered
responsive front-ends against RESTful APIs, and previously as Senior Full Stack
Developer at UCT's Varsity Newspaper, where I architected the Django news platform, led
code reviews and mentored junior developers.
My internships at the CSIR covered full-stack environmental monitoring dashboards,
Node.js automation bots integrated with the Twitter API, and research into ETSI NFV MANO
network orchestrators. I work across the complete software lifecycle: TDD and JUnit
testing, Git/GitHub workflows, GitHub Actions CI/CD, Docker and Kubernetes, MySQL
database design, and deployment on Azure and AWS.
