Hi ! 👋🏽
Ruddy here, your friendly neighborhood syntax sensei, I live to slay problems, especially with the help of code and just the right amount of tests. When I'm not wrangling pixels to build projects, I'm on a mission to turn code newbies into coding ninjas. Why? Because let's face it, understanding the tech around us is like having superpowers for the future! I nerd out with the tech community too, sometimes gracing conferences and helping organize software shindigs.
But wait, there's more! By day, I freelance and use my code-fu to empower young minds at a fantastic organization called Umuzi - teaching them valuable skills to land those dream jobs and level up their lives (think real-world cheat codes!).
Now, to escape the digital world, you'll find me busting a move with contemporary dance or attempting to achieve zen-like calmness through yoga – both significantly less prone to debugging meltdowns.
