MY HOBBIES AND PROJECTS
Below are some of the projects that I have done or am working on that I'm most proud of, as well as some hobbies of mine that I'm really interested in. I'm working to explore a wide variety of topics and fields at this stage of my life and so my projects vary as much.
Recently, I have started to explore my interests in finance and consulting through online courses as well as more active participation in the university societies.
From mid-2023 to 2024, I co-founded and chaired an engineering society at UCT called Engineers for the Future, aiming to give engineers exposure to work opportunities, social entrepreneurship and more.
In high school, I took the subject IT (Information Technology) and in matric I was required to do a big project known as our PAT, or Practical Assessment Task, using databases in Java. With the help and guidance of my incredible teacher Mrs Nocton Smith, I managed to build a project that I am incredibly proud of. Click here to check it out!
For about a year, I ran a short podcast series called For the Future, where I explored the successes, lessons and knowledge of young Africans doing really interesting things ranging from business to politics and so much more. Give it a listen here and let me know what you think!
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” – Robert Heinlein
