I love learning new things, especially when it comes to programming. It feels rewarding knowing that what you're learning is actually useful to your career, so I'm often on programming websites and YouTube learning new programming skills.

Of course, I don't learn programming from the internet alone. Last year, I got the opportunity to join a coding bootcamp, where I learnt more about C# and .NET, as well as how to store your code into a repository on GitHub.

In between bites of coding, I do enjoy lounging around in my spare time. Taking naps and playing video games with my favourite zero-sugar soda pop and popcorn are what make me feel a sense of zen after a long day of coding.

In 2020, I used to be an I.T Technician for a company called I.T Naledi Solutions. I.T Naledi Solutions often has projects in which technicians are required to upgrade PCs and Laptops to newer models or newer hardware, and re-image older PCs so they will have newer versions of Windows. We would also ship PCs to certain branches and clients, with the applications they require installed by us. If clients ever ran into technical issues, I would assist them, either physically or through TeamViewer. I worked at I.T Naledi Solutions for 1 year. Currently, I'm working as a Software Developer Intern at the University of the Western Cape.

2014 to 2018 - I attended Mondale High School. I matriculated in 2018.

2019 - I went to College of Cape Town and graduated in 2020. I learned Web Development and Design.

2022 - I went to the University of the Western Cape and graduated the same year. I learned Multi-platform Development and Social Innovation.

My most relevant education is Data Science. I've been learning Data Science through Coursera, and I've a few certificates in the process.
