A young man, 27 years of age, born (13 May 1997) and living in Swaziland ( eSwatini ).

To see what I am currently busy with, visit my now page.

Interests

• Programming

I almost stumbled into programming. I never wrote my first line of code until 2019, at age 25. I was in the process of searching my self. After just dropping out of school I needed something to pursue.

I tried graphics design, motion graphics, photography, 3d design, etc. I could'nt find myself. Until i tried programming, I enjoyed the problem solving part. I loved it, it made me feel smart.

• Reading

If you spend more time indoors with no friends, you have to find friends somewhere indoors. Books are like friends to me. I get from it wisdom, I laugh from it's jokes and sometime weep from it's intensity.

• Writing

If you read a lot, you might be compelled to, as well, write. Writing is a way of thinking, thinking clear. A way of visualizing one's thoughts. Sometimes you feel as if you have to store your thoughts somewhere, paper is the best storage.

• Piano

I am not good at it. But I feel like I need to know it. As someone who has attended church a lot, the only thing, once I got used to repitative sermons, that stole my interest was the worship, specificaly piano and the bass guiter ( which is next in line ).

What I use

• OS: Windows 11 & WSL ( Kali Linux )
• Text editor: VSCode & Vim/Neovim
• Programming Languages: JavaScript, PHP, Python, SQL & C
• Frameworks: React js, Next js, Laravel

Career

I am currently working as a web developer at a digital agency.

My main aim is to live a free life. To write code whenever I want to, wherever. Not restricted to a 9-to-5. Apart from my job, I am focused in launching my own projects.

Education

• Self taught

At the moment evething related to computers, I taught myself, with the help of the internet.

• College drop-out

I went to university in 2017 to study BSc in Medical Laboratory Science.

Drop out 2019.

• Future Plans

I still need a formal Computer Science qualification. Why? I have a secrete desire to teach, I might get the qualification for that purpose.
