About
Engineer by training, builder by habit
Software developer with a Distinction-average Diploma in IT (Software Development) and 2+ years of commercial and freelance experience building full-stack web and mobile applications.
My path ran from the diploma into a development internship, then into freelance client work, and now into co-building a live fintech automation product. Each step pushed me deeper into production concerns: reliable APIs, clean data models, repeatable environments, and shipping on a deadline.
Education
Diploma in IT – Software Development, IIE Rosebank College (Distinction average).
Specialisation
Full-stack web apps, RESTful APIs, cross-platform mobile apps (Android/iOS), automation & trading tech.
Where I'm heading
Growing into a skilled software engineer through further formal study — drawn to teams that invest in engineering craft through structured mentorship and bursary-style growth programmes.
