About Me

I'm a dedicated second-year Applied Mathematics and Computer Science student at UNISA, Pretoria, with a passion for leveraging mathematical principles and computational methods to solve complex real-world problems, particularly in renewable energy and PV systems.

My expertise spans Python programming, machine learning algorithms, statistical analysis, and data visualization. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of mathematics and artificial intelligence, where I can apply theoretical knowledge to practical applications in solar technology.

Through various online courses from prestigious institutions like Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, I've built a comprehensive skill set that includes advanced programming techniques, mathematical modeling, and cutting-edge AI/ML methodologies.
