Johannesburg → New York City

I’m a New York-based engineer from Johannesburg, South Africa, with six years of building backend systems, ML pipelines and payment infrastructure at Meta and Superscript. I studied Computer Science at Stanford with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence. When I’m not shipping code, I’m usually making music.
