Tertiary
University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
BSc Computer Science (Jan 2021 – Mar 2024)
My time at Wits was nothing short of transformative. I dove into the world of software engineering, learning the ins and outs of algorithms, machine learning, data structures, and operating systems. The university pushed me beyond my limits, providing me with a solid foundation in computer science that I apply daily in my work.
Wits wasn’t just about the academics, though—this is where I truly grew as a programmer, thinker, and collaborator. Between working on fascinating projects and constantly challenging myself to stay on top of emerging tech trends, I walked away not just with a degree but with lifelong skills and memories. Some of my favorite courses included: Software Design, Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms, Advanced Analysis of Algorithms, and Multivariable Calculus.
High School
Liberty High School, South Africa (Jan 2018 - Dec 2020)
My time at Liberty High was filled with achievements and leadership opportunities. I proudly participated in the Computer Applications Technology competition, earning a bronze certificate in 2019 and a silver certificate in 2020. I was also elected into leadership roles, serving as a prefect in Grade 11 and rising to head prefect in my final year, 2020.
I finished top of my class in Grade 12, earning a scholarship from the University of the Witwatersrand to study Computer Science. Before that, I ranked first in Grades 10 and 11, and that consistency kept me motivated throughout my high school journey.
U-TECH, Swaziland (Jan 2015 - Dec 2017)
At U-TECH, I got a taste of success early on, participating in the Swaziland Science Expo and winning a bronze medal in Grade 9. Leadership came naturally to me, and I served as a prefect in Grades 9 and 10. I was always striving for excellence, securing second place in Grade 8, and finishing first in both Grades 9 and 10.
