Born and raised in Johannesburg, after completing a Bcomm degree in Information Management, relocated to Cape Town in 2011. After being in the logistic and transport industry for majority of my working career, my love for technology encouraged me to learn more and complete various online courses. My biggest motivation and role model is Elon Musk and how he has pursued ground breaking and world changing ideas and put them into reality, despite facing numerous set backs. My aim to to provide value on a large scale using technology to bridge the gap between communities and the world. My interest is in using cutting edge technology to reinvent the future for generations to come and to promote society as a whole, while generating money for charities in need. I am a proud supporter and contributor to Open Source software and the free flow of ideas. My coding knowledge is self taught as I enjoy constantly learning new things. free Code Camp has been on of the most helpful resources in my quest to add value to future employers and clients, while developing knowledge that is relevant.
