Summary
A driven BSc Applied Geology graduate (UWC, 2022) with a unique dual-competency in Geotechnical Sciences and Software Engineering. I possess a strong academic foundation in physical sciences, demonstrated by distinctions in Earth Science (78%) and Physics (77%). Currently finalizing a Software Engineering qualification, I bring advanced skills in data analysis, Python programming, and process automation to the mining sector. I am eager to combine my geological field experience with modern data techniques to contribute to safety and efficiency at Assmang Black Rock Mine Operations.
