Turning Ideas Into Digital Reality

3rd year BComp Science student building real‑world web solutions and AI‑powered applications that make an impact.

// 01 — About Me

Who Is Xander?

I'm a motivated and self-driven 3rd year BComp Science student at Belgium Campus IT-University in Pretoria, with a deep passion for software development, artificial intelligence, and building real-world web solutions that actually make a difference.

I've designed, built and currently host a live website for a real company — Duraflame — and I've created three additional showcase websites for prospective clients. I'm also currently developing EduBot, an AI-powered education chatbot that guides learners through subject-specific problems step by step, rather than just handing them the answer. The goal is to encourage real learning instead of copying.

Off-screen I'm a certified Mini Level 1 hockey umpire with 3 years of experience, an active figure skating coach at The Grove Skating Academy, and someone who's always moving — padel, golf, and track riding. I bring that same energy and discipline to everything I build.

I'm fluent in both English and Afrikaans, and I'm actively seeking opportunities to grow in a professional tech environment.
