ABOUT ME
Ruby on rails developer 8 years
Ruby on rails developer 8 years

I am a self taught developer, working in the Tech Industry since 2013. I left South Africa between 2015 & 2017 to return to my home country, The Democratic Republic of Congo, working for a tech company called Infoset. I wanted to see what problems people in my country were facing, while evaluating the tech industry.

I recognised that it's not enough to be a good developer, I needed to learn more about operating systems, so have since returned, registered my own business and continued expanding my skills as a developer as well as in devops.

I am passionate about web & software development and technology itself, always willing to learn and grow in my passion, while expressing my creativity. Every experience and opportunity gets me one step closer to reaching my dream of creating an African startup that will change the way people in my country use technology.
