Just what I am up to
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 join one of my upcoming workshops?
I run hands-on, small-group, expert-led, hyper-practical online workshops covering a variety of different tools and technologies.
