👋
Freelancer, systems specialist & code tinkerer.
I'm a tech enthusiast based in Cape Town. I genuinely enjoy the puzzle of bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and building things that are simple to use.
With a background in system administration and a passion for development, I focus on creating stable, secure, and efficient environments—whether I'm tinkering in my home lab or helping a client untangle their IT overhead.

About Me
Who am I?
I started out as a sysadmin, spending years maintaining servers, networks, and the infrastructure people rely on every day. After a break from the industry, I've returned with a clearer focus — rebuilding my skills, updating my stack, and moving deeper into the areas of tech I'm most interested in, particularly DevOps and development.
These days I split my time between freelance technical work and sharpening the skills I want to grow further. When I'm not working, I'm usually with family or out with my dogs (that's my favorite coworker on the left!).
