Infrastructure/platform engineer, software enthusiast, part time afrikanerPerson learning afrikaans (language from South Africa)
A brief timeline
2017
A C++ Fahrenheit to Celsius converter, my first program. Took me three hours. I thought I was a genius.
2018–2022
Neuroscience to CS: half a neuroscience degree in, one Intro to Software Engineering course changed the plan. Switched majors and took every engineering elective I could get.
2021–2025
Software engineer: interned, then owned the frontend of a WebRTC medical platform. A love of Jenkins, now won over by GitHub Actions, and no idea how Kubernetes worked pointed me at DevOps.
2025–now
DevOps, Core Infrastructure: building infrastructure components, CI/CD workflows, untangling complex systems across services and helping people succeed. If that does not sound fun, let's talk hopefully I can change your mind.
