Full Stack Developer | Mentor | Software Lead Tech Champ | E-Learning Specialist
6+ years shipping frontend and backend solutions with JavaScript, React, Node.js and Python. I also design and run bootcamp programs that have placed 100+ developers into industry roles.
Who I Am
I'm a software developer based in Cape Town with 6+ years of experience across the full stack from crafting responsive UIs in React to building REST APIs and managing databases on the backend.
Beyond shipping code, I've spent years designing and running structured bootcamp programs at CAPACITI, coaching career-changers and graduates into their first developer roles. I believe the best engineers are also great communicators and collaborators and I bring that mindset to every team I join.
I thrive in Agile environments, enjoy solving complex problems, and care deeply about writing clean, maintainable code that teams can build on.
