About Me

I am a versatile professional with a deep commitment to learning, leadership, and innovation. I am FAIS registered, Bloomberg Terminal inclined, and a proud member of the Institute of Accounting & Commerce.

As Executive Chairperson of the Mngqibisa Foundation, a youth-led registered non-profit, I work to empower communities through education and innovation. My flagship initiative, EduHelp AI, is a free, privacy-first academic platform designed to support, not replace, teachers by delivering personalised, accessible learning tools to South African learners, univerity students, parents and teachers.

On LinkedIn, I publish insights on finance, technology, global development, and public policy. My work explores everything from BRICS and tax reform to cancer treatment access and drug pricing.

I am a charismatic communicator who thrives in both team and independent environments. Whether I’m building intelligent apps, designing secure cloud infrastructure, or analysing socio-economic trends, I lead with purpose and passion.

EduHelp AI

EduHelp AI is an innovative platform designed to assist learners (Grade 1 - 12), university students, parents and educators by leveraging artificial intelligence to provide personalised learning experiences. The core philosophy is rooted in the Socratic method. Instead of simply providing answers to homework or assignments, EduHelp AI engages users in a thoughtful dialogue. It asks guiding questions and provides gentle hints to help learners and students think critically, build confidence, and arrive at their own "aha!" moments. This approach fosters true understanding and long-term knowledge retention.
