I live in Palma and love to be in nature. Sailing in the Belearics for the last 2 years has been a great experience, I want to continue to learn and grow onboard different yachts and explore new destinations. I also like to make stuff and put it on the internet
About Me
I'm 25 years old, born in Zimbabwe and raised mostly in South Africa. I studied Computer Science and grew up sailing dinghies as a kid. I now work as a freelance sailor and take on contract web work.
I enjoy building clean, interactive web experiences and continuing to develop both my maritime and technical skills.
