I am a young ambitious tech lover who has a passion for code. I have a National Diploma in Information Technoology and Business Analysis which I obtained from the Cape Peninsula University of technology. I have over 5 years experience working on Linux web servers running the LAMP stack. For just over 3 of those 5+ years I worked as a Service Manager in a Technical Support team which taught me how to mentor and manage people as well as how to deal with customers as the job included customer interactions.
I decided to resign from that job and pursue my passion for code in order to be able to make a career switch and become a Software Developer. The first step in achieveing this goal was to enroll in a Full Stack Web Development bootcamp with Hyperion Development. I have successfully completed the bootcamp and I am now looking to add value and make an impact in the tech industry as a Software Developer.
