Building enterprise-grade software with Spring Boot, Java, and modern full-stack tools. Currently studying Computer Science at UKZN, South Africa.
I am a Computer Science student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and the recipient of the Hanno Rund Award for the best first-year mathematics mark. I'm passionate about building robust backend systems with Spring Boot and creating seamless full-stack experiences.
Currently, I work as a demonstrator for COMP100 (Introduction to Programming), helping first-year students master programming fundamentals. My main project, StudyGrind LMS, is a production-ready learning platform with JWT authentication, PayFast integration, Docker deployment, and Prometheus monitoring.
Enterprise-grade Learning Management System with JWT authentication, role-based access (Admin/Teacher/Student), PayFast payment integration, Docker containerization, Prometheus monitoring, and Grafana dashboards. Built with Spring Boot 3, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate, and PostgreSQL.
Professional civil engineering consultancy website for Terrain & Structural engineers. Features township establishment services, project portfolio, team profiles, and contact forms. Built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a modern, responsive design.
Real-time chat application with WebSocket support, user authentication, and message history. Features multiple chat rooms, typing indicators, and read receipts. Built with Spring Boot for the backend and vanilla JavaScript for the frontend.
Real-time hand tracking and gesture recognition using TensorFlow.js and MediaPipe API. Processes webcam input to detect hand landmarks and recognize gestures like open hand, fist, pointing, victory, and rock on. Deployed on Vercel.
Voice-controlled desktop assistant built with Python and speech recognition libraries. Responds to voice commands for opening applications (Notepad, Calculator), checking the time, minimizing windows, and exiting the application with a Tkinter GUI.
Authentication system with form validation and session management. Demonstrates secure password handling and responsive UI design principles.
Client-side file compression tool that runs entirely in the browser. Compress images with quality controls, create ZIP archives from multiple files, and compress MP4 videos using FFmpeg.wasm. Features drag & drop, real-time stats, and keyboard shortcuts — all without uploading files to any server.
