Software Engineer at BlckRhino | Published AI Researcher | First Class Honours in Computer Science, University of Cape Town I'm a software engineer working at the intersection of technology and finance at BlckRhino, where I innovate anti-fraud payment systems to combat APP fraud. I develop secure .NET backend solutions integrated with intuitive HTML/CSS frontends, safeguarding financial transactions and ensuring system integrity in the digital payment landscape. As Scrum Master, I facilitate agile development processes and coordinate cross-functional collaboration to drive efficient project execution. Beyond my engineering work, I published research in Springer Nature on Spatial-Temporal Graph Neural Networks for weather prediction, presented at SACAIR 2024. My technical expertise spans Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, .NET, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, with strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and parallel programming. My experience includes engineering packet deduplication systems using P4 at VASTech and managing satellite communication systems at the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory. I excel in high-performance environments, tackling complex challenges across distributed systems, machine learning, and secure payment infrastructure. Open to opportunities in software engineering and ML engineering at top-tier tech companies.
