About Me

Hi, I’m Mark :wave:,
I was born in Nairobi, Kenya on the 14th of April 1998. After 3 years, we moved to Gaborone, Botswana which is where I have spent majority of my life. After completing Secondary school, I found myself at the University of Cape Town studying Mechatronics Engineering which I completed in 2020. In that time, I homed in on my interest in Electronics, Hardware and Embedded Systems. I then decided to pursue a Master’s degree with the goal of learning more and ultimately bettering my skillset in these fields.

I have a passion for helping people and aim to combine that with my skills as an engineer to produce solutions that make life a better place for the human populous.
