ABOUT ME

I'm a versatile ICT professional who bridges the gap between software development, systems administration, and education. Currently serving as ICT Officer at Forek Institute of Technology, I design and maintain enterprise web applications while facilitating the NQF Level 5 ICT programme.

My journey began as an intern and grew through a government deployment at Victor Khanye Local Municipality — building real solutions for real communities. I hold an IT Diploma from the University of Mpumalanga and am a qualified Assessor, Facilitator and Moderator through ETDP SETA.

I thrive in multi-disciplinary environments where technology meets human impact — whether that's debugging a municipal website or mentoring learners on hardware diagnostics.
