A little bit about me

I am a software developer with 5 years of experience in full stack technologies including React.js, Node.js, Ruby on Rails and Python. I enjoy solving complex problems and in the last two years I have developed a passion for startups and design.

Since September 2021 I have been building TechUp School and working part-time doing software development and product design. I have also been upskilling myself in product management in 2022 as the topic really excites me.

I am incredibly passionate about mentoring and I value team and company culture very highly. I prioritise working with smart, friendly individuals who push me to grow on a technical and personal level, but also make me excited about going to work every day.

I am based in Cape Town and hold an EU dual-citizenship.
