About me

Born in Zimbabwe in July 1994

I'm a tech guy and I enjoy anything to do with technology, whether it is coding, making websites, building and upgrading PCs, fiddling with IoT stuff, gaming, or even a little bit of robotics!

I also really like the outdoors! Mountain biking, camping, exploring!

I do ballroom dancing and I'm into art too, although I steer clear of most colorful medium as im color-blind, but I do a fair bit of pencil drawing!
