About Me

I am an IT Honours graduate specialising in Security and Network Engineering, with a strong academic foundation built at North-West University and Eduvos University. Throughout my studies, I developed excellent time-management and teamwork skills while working under strict deadlines on both individual and group projects. I naturally took on leadership and coordination roles within team settings, ensuring tasks were well-organised, deadlines were met, and project objectives were achieved. I am adaptable in my approach and comfortable adjusting strategies when needed to deliver the best possible outcomes. I have approximately three years of coding experience using C#, Java, and Python, with particular interests in data analysis, network technologies, and cybersecurity. During my Honours year, I completed multiple research-based projects, including a dissertation on Zero Trust Architecture and its role in securing modern enterprise networks, as well as exploring the use of machine learning to enhance ZTA security effectiveness. I am a disciplined, motivated individual with a consistent academic record, achieving a 74% undergraduate average and an 88% average across honours research projects. I am eager to grow as a technology professional and contribute meaningfully within a collaborative, high-performance environment.
