Raised in South Africa, my academic journey began at university where I pursued a Sports Science degree. However, midway through my second year, an opportunity to play cricket and hockey in England presented itself, marking the start of my sporting career. Over time, I had the privilege to play Premier League hockey and cricket in South Africa, England, and Ireland. My interest in coding was ignited through exploring CodeAcademy courses, a journey I found incredibly intriguing. This led me to make the decision to pursue a formal degree in the field. Balancing full-time work and study over the last four years has been challenging, yet rewarding. I've been fortunate to collaborate with outstanding individuals and contribute to a variety of intriguing projects, enriching both my personal and professional growth.
