Independent
Freelance and independent work, taking ideas from the first sketch all the way to a live interface, for founders and teams who want an engineer that thinks like a designer.
Software Engineering
2024 to 2025
AltSchool Africa
The reset. Where I stopped thinking of engineering as syntax and started thinking like a product owner: clear thinking, structure, and the person on the other side of the screen.
Systems, before software
Earlier
University · Mechanical Engineering
Where the systems mindset was formed. Vehicle rewiring and mechanical troubleshooting taught me to follow a fault from symptom to cause, debugging before I knew the word.
