About Me

While doing my undergraduate in Business Computing, I worked as a provider of casual support for IT-related issues on a referral basis which earned me my first award from MultiTech. This convinced me to pursue my post-graduate in Information Systems from the University Of Cape Town (UCT).

On completing my post-graduate, I won one team award and an individual award from UCT. One in systems design for developing an employee management system for Coronation Fund Managers and a research award for diligence in the field of research.

After a successful and rewarding academic experience at the University of Cape Town, I secured a contract with MEST Africa, one of the biggest and most competitive incubator organizations for tech start-ups on the continent, working as a tech lead for three start-up companies. My role included overseeing, designing, and developing systems for various software-driven businesses. One of which was eventually launched as Shopa (an e-commerce platform for provision shop owners in Ghana) and the other was a blockchain land verification system for the Nigerian real estate industry.

Over the years, I have gained sufficient experience in planning, prototyping, and developing software, systems, and websites. I later returned to Cape Town to work as a Software Engineer for Code Infinity before moving on to work for The Work Crowd, a company based in the United Kingdom.

As a software developer, I have a strong desire to use tech for the betterment of society. For instance, my recent engagement is in the area of agro tech via the FarmConnectPlus and the Afrixyz App. This app emerged among the top 10 out of 100 teams in the i-Upshift innovation competition, winning USD 5,000 in funding.
