University of the Witwatersrand

Activities and Societies: Google Hashcode, Class Representative Graduated with distinction as an Electrical Engineer in the Information Stream. I chose this path because of my love for software development, electronics and problem solving, in addition to biomedical engineering. My electives included Software Development, Network Systems and Data Intensive Computing. My final honours projects included the design of a free-space optical communication system for use in low socioeconomic contexts, and the development and implementation of a machine learning… Show more Graduated with distinction as an Electrical Engineer in the Information Stream.

Udacity

Awarded a scholarship for the Data Analytics Nanodegree offered by Udacity and ALX-T. Gained hands on experience in all stages of the data analytics pipeline, from gathering and wrangling to explorationand visualisation, via data analytics projects using Python and Jupyter.

University of the Witwatersrand

Activities and Societies: Centre for High Performance Computing - Student Cluster Competition This degree combines courses from Electrical Engineering and Medicine. I graduated with distinction with distinction and in the top five students of my class, in the minimum time of three years. Although this is a three year degree, it is part of the five-year programme which consists of two more years of Electrical Engineering. I was a straight A student and received many certificates of merit, as well as consistently being in the Dean’s List for Engineering and participating in competitions.
