Constantly broadening my knowledge through free tools such as online courses , youtube and the local library . 

currently building my data analysis portfolio in real estate .

What was a keen interest for AI soon developed into my coding hobby. I chose specifically to do it in real estate because of the lack of data actively being used in my city . 

cryptocurrency & blockchain

exploring crypto payment systems in the cannabis industry

Product testing and exploration

Being that I've been apart of the cannabis industry since it was legalized in South Africa , I and my former team have worked together to create a multiple of products . I am far from a scientist but i take pride in knowing how to formulate , grow and transform the ordinary plant we all know and love into something fascinating and useful . There are still countless products i would love to bring into the market and i believe we've only scratched the surface of the power of the plant .
