What I am doing now
Location
I live in South Africa 🇿🇦
Job
I currently work for Umuzi.
Adventure
I'm currently preparing to do a hike called the Grand Traverse in the Drakensberg mountains. I've done it once before and it was pretty tough.
Stats from last time:
- total distance: 270km
- total time: 10 days
It's one of those wild-camping hikes where you need to carry a tent and all your food.
2024
I have very few 2024 goals. I tend to only plan things out a few months in advance most of the time.
So here are a few things I want to focus on (outside of my main job):
- Write! A lot! I want to share some of the things I've learned, and I want to do more thinking in public. I have so many things I want to share
- Conferences and community: In 2023 I was able to attend 4 conferences: Esc@pe, DjangoConfUS, PyConZA and DjangoConfAfrica. It was really amazing. I absolutely love the communities I was interacting with. This year I want to lean into that more and get more involved as a community member
- Home: I've got a lot of little and big quality or life projects I want to do
- AfrikaBurn This is the South African version of Burning Man. Last year I was involved in building one of the major artworks. It was an incredible experience and I'm doing it again
Want to learn from me?
I'm running some technical training over at Prelude. These are damn fine learning experiences for individuals and teams.
You can either join a weekend learning sprint, where you would be encouraged to be present for 6-8 hours per day; or a four day long learning sprint where you would be encouraged to join one 4 hour session per day.
