ABOUT ME
I am a full-stack developer andfinal-year Computer Science student with a passion for buildingreal-world applications that solve meaningful problems. One of my main projects is a 3D virtual tour that usesThree.js,Blender, andAWS to help people explore Namibia’s landmarks online in an immersive way. I’m also building OfflinePay — a mobile app that allows users to make payments without internet, using Bluetooth/NFC andAES-256 encryption, tailored for communities with limited connectivity. As someone who values data, I use SQL,Python, and visualization tools to analyze trends and improve system design. I also provide IT support, helping maintain systems, fix network issues, and ensure reliability for small teams. I care deeply about writingclean, testable code and building software that’s both helpful and secure.
