Get To Know Me!

About Me

Hi! I am Palesa (aka Barry), and I am an aspiring web developer. I was a recruit at Umuzi.org, where I learnt and honed my development skills.
My goal is to build better and more inclusive software. I obtained my National Diploma in Software Development in 2021.
I majored in mobile application development, and I have decided to branch off and learn more technologies and programming techniques.

If I'm not writing code and scratching my head trying to fix a bug, you can find me either watching
"The Big Bang Theory" for the 60th time (probably), reading a book or listening to music. I would like to think that my music taste is elite. Don't believe me? 😏 Here's one of my many playlists.
