A course that I compiled focused on coding with a solution-focused approach.

I compiled a course to provide a foundation in solution-based thinking and systems design using the Qt cross-platform framework. Students learn how to develop system concepts from ideation to installable applications on mobile devices that can be interacted with.

LapTime allows the scheduling of titled sets, broken down into repeatable intervals with rests in between. It can be used to time workouts, stretching sessions, meditation sessions, study sessions, and much more.

This app is tailored to the strict-on-time user who requires discipline to stick to a particular workout or regime for a set length of time and wants to ensure that each side of their body that they exercise is subjected to training for the same length of time (providing uniform training and evened out strength development).

Developed an in-vehicle, hands-free, and speech-controlled personalized banking system, which interacts with one from the comfort of their car seat as they drive, putting to good use idle traffic time.

The system extends the current mobile banking infrastructure to banking hands-free behind the wheel. It incorporates machine learning algorithms on statement transactional information for trend analysis, budgeting and financial planning, and integrated financial advisory.

The system was developed for Grindrod Bank's "RE-IMAGINE a Fintech Future" hackathon and took first place.

Published a paper that explored the use of principal component analysis (PCA) techniques to develop classification systems for synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images.

The concept of PCA is centered on feature extraction and dimensionality reduction. By exploiting spatial differences and variances between data points of a specific data domain, PCA techniques reduce datasets to representations consisting of principal components only. Henceforth, the effect is the reduction of dataset sizes, which translates to a decrease in processing time on these datasets for almost any application of the mathematical technique.
