About

Engineer, tutor, creator.

I graduated from WeThinkCode_ in 2026 with an Occupational Certificate in Software Engineering (NQF Level 6, Pass with Distinction), specialising in systems integration.

I now tutor fellow students at WeThinkCode_ and share what I learn on CodersDomain, my backend engineering YouTube channel.
