About Me

I'm a Senior Software Developer based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, working with a small team at Wirk Pty Ltd on projects for DSA in Aachen, Germany. This role gave me the opportunity to move to Germany, and I spent 8 months working at the DSA office in Aachen. I'm also studying part-time toward a BSc in Applied Artificial Intelligence at the International University of Applied Sciences.

Here are some technologies I have been working with:

  • Java
  • Docker
  • Jenkins
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Python

Outside of work and study, I'm a mom of two daughters, and I love running, hiking, and reading. I also have a fascination with neuroscience, especially how the brain learns and optimizes itself.
