A PREACHER (2005 - date)
I am first a Born-Again child of God before I am anything else, this is because I do not know anything better than this.
To date, I can attest to the LOVE, POWER, and the MERCY of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ... Through which I was saved am being used to save others by means evangelism, healing and deliverance.
AN ARTIST(2004 - date)
I started taking photographs at the age of 17 on a school tour to Cape Town. At the age of 19 I got mandated to become a videographer at the church I was serving, which was for every weekend. That is when I began to incorporate my photography skills with videography. At the age of 21, I was taught how to design graphics, develop web-pages, edit videos and create motion graphics. With all that knowledge, I ventured into business mostly as a photographer, a graphic designer and a videographer with quality and customer satisfaction in mind. Having been one of the beneficiaries of SEDA in the Free State, I managed to develop and stabilise. I also became a part of the team that the Market Photo Workshop developed over a period of time. I continue to grow and inspire those around me.
AN IT STUDENT(2018 - date)
I am studying Information Technology with the University of SA, also doing CS50(Computer Science-Web Programming) with Harvard University. Apart from IT being in high demand, I ventured into it because of its complex nature (problem solving trades). Based on the qualification Im studying for, I want to become a full-stack developer once I qualify.
My Favourite Modules being:
Javascript(Vanilla),
HTML, CSS,
Python, PHP, Java
SQL,
React.js (Self-Taught).
