More about me

I'm a product obsessed developer, always eager for user feedback. I got into programming to solve difficult problems and build solutions that make an impact.

I have a BSc and BSc Honours in Computer Science and Information systems.

I love learning and challenging myself. I try to set aside time everyday for reading and introspection.

I love animals, cooking, music (drums & guitar), running and getting caught in the rain.
