About Me

I am a BSc graduate in Computer Science and Software Engineering and I am currently pursuing my Honours in Computer Science (Cyber Security). I have a passion for technology, problem-solving, and building digital solutions. I enjoy applying my knowledge to real-world challenges, learning continuously, and growing both professionally and personally.

I take pride in being proactive, approachable, and a hands-on learner. I thrive on taking initiative, collaborating with others, and tackling new challenges head-on. I am also passionate about using technology to create meaningful impact, especially through tutoring and digital content creation.

Experience

Junior Consultant – Deloitte

I joined Deloitte because I wanted to experience how a leading professional services firm operates and gain exposure to real-world IT systems and business processes. From the very first day, I was intrigued by the scale and complexity of their IT audit work, as well as the structured learning environment they offered.

During my time there, I gained hands-on exposure to IT infrastructure, including servers and operating systems, storage and backup solutions, and MySQL databases. I learned system setup, user management, access permissions, and update processes using industry best practices. I was also introduced to IT General Controls (ITGCs), internal control frameworks, and audit standards, which strengthened my understanding of governance and risk management. This experience built a solid foundation for software development by highlighting how applications interact with underlying IT systems, while also developing my analytical, problem-solving, and technical skills through practical IT projects.

Beyond technical knowledge, Deloitte taught me professional discipline, meeting tight deadlines, collaborating with diverse teams, and adapting quickly to new challenges. It was a period of rapid growth, and I left with a deeper appreciation for both technology and professional excellence.

Key Projects

Tutoring Work

As part of the DoE Tutoring initiative, I’ve helped learners understand difficult topics using personalized online materials and interactive resources. I also create digital notes, quizzes, and PowerPoint-based videos to enhance learning engagement.

In addition, I’ve built a system that makes both teaching and learning more efficient, a student portal where learners can access study resources, attempt practice quizzes, and track their progress. It also includes a resource management feature that allows tutors to easily upload and assign materials to specific grades and subjects, saving time and keeping everything organized.

This system has helped us, as tutors and directors, save hours of manual work each week, allowing us to focus more on what truly matters — helping learners improve their understanding and boost their grades.

Life & Career Story

I chose to study Computer Science because I enjoy solving problems and thinking critically. I realized that working with technology allows me to challenge my mind while creating useful solutions.

I decided to study at the University of Johannesburg because their program is well-structured and covers a variety of fields, opening doors to many career paths like cybersecurity, software development, and networking.

Before pursuing IT, I studied Mechanical Engineering at Nkangala TVET College. I was curious about engines and enjoyed learning how they work, but I found that the work required more physical effort than I preferred, and there was little problem-solving involved.

I transitioned to Computer Science because I wanted a cleaner, more mental challenge where I could work indoors and focus on solving problems. Learning to code felt like playing checkers, I loved every moment of it.

I am a proactive person who enjoys taking initiative and learning independently.

I consider myself a hands-on learner — I understand best when I apply what I learn.

I’m passionate about growth and impact — especially through technology and tutoring.

In my personal life, I enjoy playing soccer, listening to music, and playing games.

Looking ahead, I see myself growing as an IT specialist and making a positive impact in technology.
