About Me

Graduate Software Engineer from UCT with a focus on backend systems and real-time processing. Built a RAPTOR-based transit router achieving 10x faster queries than Dijkstra on live GTFS data, and a real-time DTMF decoder in ASP.NET Core with under 50ms latency. I write well-tested, documented code and enjoy reducing hard problems to clean, fast solutions.
