Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: 2024: The Year Tech Dreams Became Reality ?? When people say university is just about grades, I say it's about transformation. This year proved that academic excellence is just the starting line – it's what you do with that knowledge that truly matters. My journey went from: ? Deputy President of UKZN Tech Society, leading incredible initiatives ? GradStar Top 500 recognition ? Developing a Truck Management System that bridged classroom learning with real-world problem-solving ? Completing Power BI certification to expand my tech knowledge ? Cum Laude graduate in Information Systems The real magic? Seeing how technical skills can drive community impact. Through the UKZN Tech Society, we're not just learning – we're creating opportunities for fellow students to explore, grow, and challenge themselves. Looking ahead to 2025: I'm diving deeper into generative AI and exploring how technology can solve real-world challenges. My goal isn't just personal growth, but empowering the next generation of tech innovators.

I'm leading two discussions at the ASU+GSV Summit focused on accessibility and innovation and why its imperative to build an inclusive organization from the start. When accessibility is interwoven into every facet of business operations, it elevates everyone—employees, customers, and the community at large - not just those with disabilities. Come meet me in San Diego and join these important conversations. #ai #executivesearch #disabilityinclusion #edtech
