+ Project Collaborations that solve real, meaningful problems| CS + Economics | I see code and markets as the same system both run on incentives, structure, and flow |
| Data structures everywhere | Outside of code, everything is still a graph or a queue to me |
| Pretoria-based | Building software that could be used anywhere in the world |
| Logic as creativity | Constraints are just unsolved design problems |
| Debugging ritual | think → coffee → think harder → Google → cry → fix → repeat |
| Clean architecture | Messy code genuinely keeps me up at night |
| Startup mindset | Every project is designed to be scalable from day one |
| Trilingual | English, Sepedi & Setswana |
| Principle | What it looks like in practice |
|---|---|
| Code with intention | Every line serves a purpose no bloat, no guesswork |
| Design for humans | Technology should empower people, not confuse them |
| Data before assumptions | Let evidence guide every decision |
| Systems over shortcuts | Build it right, or build it twice |
| Learning never stops | Every project is a chance to level up |
