I'm a game developer from Durban, South Africa, currently completing a BA Honours in Design Leadership at Vega School. My work sits at the intersection of technical development and creative design - from building games in Unity and Unreal Engine to researching how Virtual Reality can transform the way programming is taught.
Beyond development, I bring experience as a competitive esports coach and academic tutor, which has sharpened my communication, leadership, and analytical thinking.
