Remote worker with 8+ years of experience - Last seen 1 month ago

I am a passionate and versatile software developer with a strong foundation in Java, C++, C#, and Python, and experience across both education and personal software engineering projects. With a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics (in progress at UNISA) and years of hands-on experience teaching Information Technology (Java, OOP, web development) at high school level, I bring a rare combination of technical proficiency, communication skills, and project ownership.

My technical toolkit includes:

Languages: Java, C++, C#, Python, SQL, HTML/CSS/JavaScript

Tools & Frameworks: Visual Studio Code, Git/GitHub, Maven, .NET, Qt,
Concepts: Object-Oriented Programming, MVC architecture(Learning), software testing (xUnit), algorithms, data structures, backend systems, desktop and web app development

Extras: Strong understanding of operating systems, compilers, and computer architecture from advanced university coursework

Having recently transitioned from full-time teaching into software development, I’m now seeking opportunities as a Junior or Intermediate Software Developer, where I can contribute meaningfully to engineering teams, continue learning, and grow into a backend or full-stack role—particularly in fintech, data systems, or blockchain-integrated applications.

I’m diligent, adaptable, and deeply committed to writing clean, efficient, and well-tested code. I thrive in collaborative, problem-solving environments and am ready to bring real value to a company that invests in talent and innovation.
